Tom the Bottleman is a heartwarming documentary that tells the story of Thomas Morrison, a quiet yet resilient figure in Brunswick, Maine, who has spent over a decade walking the town’s streets collecting bottles and cans. More than a means of survival, Tom’s daily routine represents his deep connection to the community around him. When his essential cart was stolen in 2024, the town responded with unexpected generosity, coming together to support one of their own. Directed by Jake Jakubowski, this film captures the power of perseverance, the beauty of small-town solidarity, and the profound impact of everyday kindness.
