Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film emerged from the 'simpler living' movement popularized by Samuel Alexander's book of the same name, part of a growing academic and grassroots push for degrowth economics in wealthy nations.
Helena Norberg-Hodge's appearance connects this Australian experiment to her decades of work in Ladakh, where 'development' destroyed traditional sustainable economies—a tension the film largely sidesteps.
