Waging war on dirt

Shot over the course of a year, this format offers unique insight into the reality of what life is really like away from the daily nine to five grind, and exposes what happens to those people who gamble mortgages, savings and personal security in a bid for happiness and self-fulfillment. While the potential rewards may seem enormous, what is the real price of opting out and is it really worth it?
