The film's focus is Palace Mobile Park in St. Petersburg, Florida, nicknamed "Pervert Park", which houses over 100 convicted sex offenders. The film premiered at Copenhagen International Documentary Festival. It won the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Impact at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. It had a television premiere as an episode of 'POV' on July 11, 2016.

Production



The Barkfors read an article about Florida Justice Transitions in a Danish newspaper which provoked their interest in the park, which they got the impression was "a society of its own". They visited the park for the first time in 2010 and found it to be very different from their expectations. The film took four years to make.
