‘Eden' Review: Ron Howard's Dystopian Utopia
In 1929, a German physician and his companion, disgusted with the pace and materialism of contemporary life, sailed to Floreana, an uninhabited island west of South America, in the Galápagos archipelago. When his letters home leaked to the papers, the two became unwilling and unwitting celebrities, described as 'Crusoes' or 'the modern Adam and Eve.'

The events were previously covered in a documentary, 2013's 'The Galapagos Affair: Satan Came to Eden.'
