## Resource

“I will die at sea for sure. I’m not going back.” - Timothy Allen sits down with filmmaker Oswald Horowitz, the man behind the upcoming documentary The Legend of Landi, to trace the strange true story of Samuele Landi, an Italian tech entrepreneur who set out to live beyond the reach of the normal system on a rusty barge in international waters between Dubai and Iran. What begins as Oswald's quixotic quest to track Landi down, involving ignored Telegram messages, a ketchup-themed short film, a Croatian police ban, and a Dubai fisherman willing to sail forty miles offshore, opens out into something far bigger. Landi's life turns out to be nothing like the press had painted it, and the story takes turns that nobody could have scripted. This is a conversation about myth, obsession, sovereignty, and the kind of rare individuals willing to push past every frontier to find out whether real freedom can actually be built at sea. Enjoy the conversation. - New ArkPad Seasteading Resort in Próspera: https://tinyurl.com/ArkPad - LEAD SPONSOR: Veritas Villages : https://www.veritasvillages.com/freecities Veritas Villages are building off-grid, energy self-sufficient communities for freedom lovers in Latin America.
