GOE on MTV: Here's the Link to Watch Full Episode!
MTV came over this summer to follow our friend Emet as he joined our ecovillage in his quest to become a better person.
A 7 man film crew documented Emet's ( @thp) transformation throughout the season, and we shared solid gold with them left and right - @quinneaker keeps a whole community motivated and focused, so gold is plentiful here at the Garden of Eden! With everything the cameras recorded, we didn't know what to expect from the final cut.
We knew Emet was deeply impacted from his time here and hoped MTV would share that incredible inspiration in a profound capacity.
After 4 months of waiting, the True Life episode aired on December 28th, so we had an awesome watch party and live stream for our closest friends!
Now here's the link to the full show:
Wouldn't THAT be a great reality show to watch??

Wow~
Believe it or not this is the first time that I have seen this show/episode.
Honestly I didn't care. I kind of surprised my self that I had MTV in my home, (the community that I have been building for 8 years) and after a hundred hours of filming, over the course of many weeks and a prime time network airing on MTV, I didn't even care.
When I saw this post on Steemit (which I vary rarely use any more after 2 months straight of more than average, 1 article per day and thousands of posts.) I thought, I might as well watch it.
So now I have.....
On one hand, its pretty cool. I mean I and our community were on MTV!
MTV didn't try and sabotage us, which is something many people told me they were going to try and do, as counter propoganda (like the MEGA Black Ops SWAT Raid, in 2013 as if I was osama.)
Now on the OTHER HAND, this totally sucked. Not just because this Youtube Version perverts the hell out of peoples voices, but because in no way shape or form, did it show how sustainable our life is, what we accomplish, how happy and fulfilled the people living there are nor the impact it has had, is having and will have on the world around it, far and wide.
For one I, as very few realize, the implications of The Garden of Eden and I also know that they filmed about 100 hours of footage during their month long sequence of The GOE. It is so sad that over 99% of that footage is lost and will likely never be seen. I remember so many PROFOUND and EPIC moments. There were SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many profound implications shared and sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much more to this story.
In truth I am going to stop writing about this now because I would rather be living the unseen EPICNESS that is life, that writing about how MTV somehow failed to highlight almost any of it.
I loved the producers and film crew. I thought they were great people and I realize the very limited time constraints they had for this episode. Yet this not only deserved a whole season to it self but it would have been a HIT.
This is a major miss for not only MTV but also the GOE and the world. SO MUCH could have been shared, experienced and contributed to humanity, with an in depth look at the REALity of the life that was FILMED, just in the weeks they were there, let alone the 8 years that this profound life has been in the works.
I am now inspired to throw an epic party here in Ecuador and give a blow by blow, EPIC recount of the TRUE LIFE of this filming.
It will of course need to be a video and just the recounting will be longer than the entire episode it self, probably WAY more entertaining at .00000000001 of the cost for production ;-)>

It's amazing that life is so amazing, that even the amazing things that were once some of the most amazing things in their time, aren't important in the presence of the NOW amazing thing!
Oh so beautiful to feel you here @quinneaker!! <3
Full on YES
I want to see THAT video!
Well done @gardenofeden!
Thank you @rebeccaryan, and thanks for being part of our live stream!!
I enjoyed it very much and it was cool to be able to watch the MTV segment. Your team is living like a "family" should with everyone pulling their weight equally. It was great to see Emmet complete his tiny home...very easy to quit, damn hard to stick with it when you don't have confidence in yourself that succeeding at a big project is even an option. Love to you all. Keep going!
I just stumbled on this link now so I am having pain and cannot sleep so I am settling in to watch this now!!
Would be grateful to hear your review!
Well I asked Sara a couple things today by PM when I finally got online so they were answered.
I thought the show was pretty well done considering most content on TV type shows in general usually and I will just leave it there on that.
I thought they showed your story and his -- pretty well and balanced and tried to narrate both sides' stories pretty well.
I would always like to see more of Miss Sara LOL.
I really wish I could come and visit you guys. I did a write up of my first JFK series posts last nite if you want to check it out. I worked pretty hard on that, and it happened out your way and like most of my posts, did not really get much
3 whales today voted on it and it got to $6 LOL. I am very proud of that post
and would love your feedback also

TYIA and keep up the good work!!

Hope you enjoy the taste of the GOE @papa-pepper!
I've still got to check the whole thing out, but it's on my list!
This video link has super voice distortion - it's like the Barry White version of GOE on MTV
