transitionnorthfield Mailing List: Re: Collapse movie/Garbage Warrior movie

[Angel Dobrow (adobrow]

I have seen these trailers. I do hope to see the movie, although I will wait 
until DVD or something local.

However--I did see a VERY interesting movie over the weekend, via snail-mail 
Netflix, titled Garbage Warrior. The man person is a lovable wild card (or 
loose cannon...), but makes several important points about freedom from 
civilization and folks are energized by his ideas. And, his houses are simply 
beautiful. Recommended, maybe even as a film showing.

Peace--Angel
