Garbage Warrior
Imagine a home that heats itself, supplies its own water, and grows its own food. Imagine that it doesn’t need expensive technology, it recycles its own waste, it has its own energy source.
Now imagine that anyone can build it anywhere using what society throws away. Thirty years ago, architect Michael Reynolds envisioned such a house and then set out to build it.
A quintessentially American visionary, Reynolds has been trying to bring his concept to the public ever since. He believes that in times of ecological instability and the imminent threat of natural disasters, his buildings can and will change the way we live.
Shot over three years in the US, India and Mexico, Garbage Warrior is a feature-length documentary about the epic story of idiosyncratic architect Michael Reynolds, his team of renegade New Mexico homebuilders and their struggle for a radically different way of life story.
Garbage Warriors is the epitome of contemporary geopolitics and an inspirational story of victory over bureaucracy. Most of all, it’s an intimate portrait of an extraordinary man and his world-changing dreams.
