Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things

Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things (2015) is Matt D'Avella's documentary, which you can watch online on iFILM. One question runs underneath it all: how might life be better with less?

The film follows Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus — the pair behind The Minimalists — on a cross-country book tour, cutting away to people who have stripped their lives down on purpose: a family in a tiny house, a former Wall Street broker, a designer rethinking fast fashion. Neuroscientists and journalist Dan Harris weigh in along the way. No hard sell, just a calm look at how much stuff a person actually needs. A solid starting point if decluttering has been on your mind. Stream Minimalism (2015) online on iFILM.
