ACADEMY AWARD WINNER: Best Picture, Best Director & Best Actress




Starring Oscar winner Frances McDormand and directed by Chloé Zhao, 'Nomadland' is a mesmerizing cinematic journey that delves into the shadowy depths of the American economy. With its searing, beautifully written, vivid, disturbing, and occasionally wryly funny narrative, the film offers a revelatory portrayal of the precarious future that may lie ahead for many of us. At the same time, it celebrates the remarkable resilience and creativity of individuals who have abandoned conventional rootedness in pursuit of survival, yet have not lost hope.


From the beetroot fields of North Dakota to the campgrounds of California to Amazon's CamperForce program in Texas, employers have uncovered a new, cost-effective labor pool, predominantly comprised of transient older adults. These invisible casualties of the Great Recession have hit the road in RVs and modified vans, forming a growing community of nomads.
