Welcome to Zozo
On its surface The Bowl of Eternity is a 3-part docuseries about a couple (Joan & Warren) and their journey to start an art scene in a peculiar and small town in New Mexico called Carriozo (Zozo). But below the surface it’s a real-life love story. It shows what can happen when a light is shined on the people and things we love.
Yes, you’ll find a touching story of a successful marriage that has lasted over 40 years, but their love does not stop with each other. It’s a story of their love for the arts, a love for the land, and a love for the people that cross their paths. All too often our modern world is filled with unsettling stories that seem to be isolating us and leaving us distrustful of our neighbors. Joan and Warren continue to focus on the abundant magic that is still all around us - and the results speak for themselves. Watch Bowl of Eternity and find out the secret to their success (hint: it has to do with love).
