A HUGE thank you to Monique who let me know about the documentary Craigslist Joe. We watched this documentary last night and LOVED it.

“Armed with only a laptop, cell phone, toothbrush, and the clothes on his back – alongside the hope that community was not gone but just had shifted – Joe lived for a month looking for alms in America’s new town square: Craigslist.

For 31 December days and nights, everything in his life would come from the Craigslist website. From transportation to food, from shelter to companionship, Joe would depend on the generosity of people who had never seen him and whose sole connection to him was a giant virtual swap meet.”

Amazon Instant Video has it for $3.99 if you want to watch it.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it. Did you love it? Hate it? Can’t wait to watch it over and over?

Tonight The Girl and I will be watching A Grain of Sand. I caught a few minutes of the documentary this morning and cannot wait to watch this tonight.

This is the story of one man and an island. Brendon Grimshaw purchased the island in 1962 and set about making the island habitable. He did this with the help of one other man, Rene Antoine Lafortune.

Brendon Grimshaw, a British national, was editor to some of the most important newspapers in Africa. But in 1972, he gave it all up to go and live on Moyenne Island, which he purchased for ten thousand pounds.

In the thirty-six-years that he has lived on the island, Brendon and his friend, Rene Lafortune, planted sixteen-thousand trees, built 4,8 kilometers of nature paths, and brought and bred 109 giant land tortoises, creating an island of incredible beauty now worth 34 million Euros.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it. Did you love it? Hate it? Can’t wait to watch it over and over?

I just stumbled upon the documentary Garbage Warrior, and decided this is what we are watching for family movie night tonight. Let us know if you watched it and what you thought about the documentary in the comment section below.

Description: Garbage Warrior

Imagine a home that heats itself, that provides its own water, that grows its own food. Imagine that it needs no expensive technology, that it recycles its own waste, that it has its own power source.

Shot over three years in the USA, India and Mexico, Garbage Warrior is a feature-length documentary film telling the epic story of maverick architect Michael Reynolds, his crew of renegade house builders from New Mexico, and their fight to introduce radically different ways of living.

Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it. Did you love it? Hate it? Can’t wait to watch it over and over?

Tonight The Girl and I will be watching the documentary We the Tiny House people. It’s is about small homes, tiny flats, and wee shelters from the Old and New world. Although I don’t think I would want to live in a 120 square foot house {where would I keep all my garden tools?} this film looks pretty interesting.
