About the film:
In research for his next book, author Colin Beavan vows to make as little environmental impact as possible for one year. No more automated transportation, no more electricity, no more non-local food, no more material consumption…no problem. That is, until his wife Michelle and their two year-old daughter are dragged into the fray.
NO IMPACT MAN provides a front-row seat into the experiment that became a national fascination and media sensation, as well as an intriguing inside look at the familial strains and strengthened bonds that result from Colin’s and Michelle’s struggle with their radical lifestyle change.
“An instructive and entertaining examination of both the overlooked environmental costs of everyday life and the possibilities for change.” (Portland Oregonian)
“A hilarious, riveting must-see about a family as it breaks down almost all the way and then reinvents itself.” (Salon.com)
