See how 50,000 people gather in the Black Rock Desert each summer to build a miniature city in which no money is exchanged, and everyone is (ideally) a participant.

My incredible experience at Burning Man this year. I lost over half the footage from my hard drive getting damaged because of dust storms, but I still had enough to piece together this documentary! Enjoy!!

If you want to see this in Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Irish and/or Esperanto - or if you’d like to see more of my videos - be sure to check out my videoblog at irishpolyglot.com
