and documentary BACK TO UTOPIA tells the story
of journalist Alex Dillen (Johan Leysen) and his
Professor Panludic (John Hurt). A story about past
choices and future decisions.

 

STORYLINE
Alexander Dillen is a hard-bitten journalist who feels he has sold out. Prompted by the death of his
former Professor and mentor Peter Panludic, and
against the backdrop of the theft of a valuable early
edition of Thomas More’s book, he embarks on a
quest for UTOPIA, which takes him around the
world from the jungle in Peru, to the lush plains of
Mexico, the tropical heart of Africa and the
wasteland of Fukushima. BACK TO UTOPIA brings
him back to revisit people and stories he covered
unjustly in his search for personal acclaim.
