Synopsis:

From the Honduran north coast to the outer reaches of Earth’s magnetic field, a plot has been brewing in the ether. Part media archaeology, part film diary, and part analog video art, A Human Year is Seven Earth Years looks at the military origins of American radio and television, tracing a psychedelic labyrinth across four continents.

Desde la costa norte de Honduras hasta el borde de las ondas magnéticas de nuestro planeta, hay una conspiración en el éter. Parte arqueología de medios, parte film retrato, y parte arte-video analógico, Un año humano es siete años en la tierra examina los orígenes militares de la radio y la televisión estadounidense y rastrea un laberinto psicodélico a través de cuatro continentes.
