About The Most Toxic Social Experiment Ever Filmed

In this series, Eden: Paradise Lost, 23 volunteers attempt to spend a year isolated in the Scottish Highlands without modern amenities, but the real struggle quickly becomes surviving each other. After a revolt and the departure of several women, the remaining group descends into gender conflict, loneliness, and power struggles. Watch as a tight-knit, male-led clique forms and takes control of camp resources, sparking a heated debate about a proposed "caveman" division of labor. With democracy failing and 'sexist chauvinist' behavior on the rise, the group's isolation becomes a pressure cooker for an authoritarian system. Licensed to Little Dot Studios.
