S5E1 Off the Grid: Desert Domes

Laura Williams is determined to create a self-sufficient desert sanctuary just beyond Tucson, Arizona. With a crew of dedicated volunteers, she sets out to handcraft a trio of earthen domes entirely from the ground up. As they struggle to master the ancient building techniques, the unforgiving Arizona sun becomes a relentless opponent. The group must push through exhaustion and unexpected setbacks, racing against time to complete the project before the brutal summer heat makes their work impossible.
