Plot: This documentary shows three different stories about people surviving on the outskirts of society, living their own little post-apocalyptic lives. The first group lives in the sewers of Las Vegas, the second guy lives alone in the Californian desert and April is part of a group that preps for life on Mars.

A documentary that brings together three stories that are marginally linked. I didn't see a lot of added value in bringing them together, but at least Steiner goes for a show-don't-tell approach and each of the stories has a certain appeal, even though the film couldn't quite hold my attention until the end.
I was most interested in April's segment, about a group prepping for life on Mars. It's extreme cosplaying that no doubt hides a deeper trauma, but at least her life looked quite fun. The presentation is nice enough and each story has an intriguing premise, but two hours was a stretch and the second hour felt like overkill.
