Snap Judgment searches for that perfect place, just around the bend, our Shangri-La. For those lucky few who have found their utopia, they also discover it's surrounded by enemies clamoring to tear it down.

PROGRAM

Amazon Jungle:  When a North American Photographer makes his way into the Amazonian Jungle to visit a native tribe, he learns why the Brazilian government keeps noisy tourists as far away as possible. Produced by Rebecca Hertz.

Game Over:  The tape is rolling as we witness the tearful end of a perfect online world. Produced by Roman Mars, based on a story by Robert Ashley's brilliant A Life Well Wasted internet radio program.

Sam Green, director of the live documentary “Utopia in Four Movements,” discuss the fleeting nature of utopia.  

Tourist Boat:  Jeff and his girlfriend escape the beaten path and all those annoying tourists.  Camping on a primitive island, far far away from “Resortville”, they discover what happens when survival and opportunity collide. Produced by Roman Mars and Sarah Jessee.

Terrantism: Christianity was too violent. Buddhism was too peaceful. And everything was too organized. So David and his friends came up with their own religion: Terrantism. They got a church, priests - pretty soon, they thought they'd found the secret to spiritual enlightenment. Produced by Stephanie Foo.

Going to Petra:  Glynn struggles whether to escape the Apocalypse in paradise.
