HBO has slated the original documentary series The Anarchists, directed by Todd Schramke and produced by Blumhouse Television, to debut on July 10 with new episodes airing subsequent Sundays. The series will also be available to stream on HBO Max.

The docuseries tells the story of an event called “Anarchapulco” that was originally created as a conference held in Acapulco, Mexico, promoting the ideals of pure anarchy — the absence of government with absolute individual self-rule.

Launched by Canadian entrepreneur Jeff Berwick in 2015 as a one-off, Anarchapulco grew into an annual event, attracting attendees from around the globe that include libertarians, fugitives, families looking to “unschool” their children to protect them from modern bureaucracies, as well as crypto-currency evangelists and anyone drawn to the idea of creating a stateless community free of government control and central banking systems.

Boasting access to many of the story’s main players, the six-part series unfolds over six years, following a series of events that eventually turn deadly as a rule-avoidant community tries to live alongside tourists and drug cartels using only the principles of anarchy to guide themselves. The series evolves from a critique of modern culture into an observation of the limitations of ideological thinking and the consequences of rejecting consensus.
