Comments: A great ship, Earthship Ark, experienced an accident and is heading for destruction. Devon, an occupant of the Cypress Corners biosphere, discovers the fact and attempts to remedy it, hundreds of years afterwards. Devon is condemned to death because of this information and escapes with his girlfriend Rachel, and is pursued by his friend Garth. The entire ark is doomed if the three individuals can't find a solution.

This Canadian TV program is now available on YouTube. It explores the concepts of blind faith, ignorance, sexism, and myths. There are references to classical literature. The production is impressive for the mid-70s. It does a good job presenting the expanse of the spaceship. The style is similar to Silent Running. It seems to get lost in substories; however, it is intruging. I recall watching this program when I was young.
