"Decoding Iceland" presents a time-lapse look at Iceland's wild ride through the last decade, and how it fits
the patterns of an island nation's 1100-year long history. The film follows the rise and fall
of an Icelandic genetics company, the government that enabled it, and the cultural history
that brought about that government. Iceland is a small population and its isolation make it
a kind of a test tube nation, where both biological and social trends can be easily
observed.
