His way of life attracted numerous people, and in 2003 a documentary about Eustace’s life, entitled “Full Circle: A Life Story of Eustace Conway” was released, directed by Jack Bibbo. Eustace now lives on a parcel of land in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina that he calls Turtle Island; however, he faced legal problems for inhabiting the land which he doesn’t own, and is in a constant fight over ownership. He also faced problems with the North Carolina Building Council, but a resolution let him off the hook.
