I've yet to watch this but the gf said it was good:

Apparently if there was a documentary about the making of the documentary it would probably be cooler. These people willingly lived off the grid. The director lived underground for 3 months before deciding to film anything. He borrowed a camera on-loan, got some left over film stock from Kodak, and shot the entire movie using the homeless people as the tech crew. They were happy to be where they were... happy to help out with the documentary. They were enthusiastic about sharing their story, about finding means to get electricity.. they had televisions... radio.. couches. They chose to live off the grid and forsake the entire idea of being sent to a homeless shelter because it is too dangerous or live on welfare and take from the system. Not everyone abuses the system.. some don't even want to be on it. |
I go to penn station almost daily and those people always beg and ask for change.
off the grid my ass.
