SFF2010 - No Impact Man (USA, 2009, 92 mins.)

A guilty New York Liberal decides to practice what he preaches for one year. He turns off the electricity, stops making garbage, gives up TV, taxis & take out, and becomes a walking, bicycling, composting, tree hugging, polar bear saving, local food-eating citizen, all while taking his baby daughter and caffeine loving retail-obsessed television-addicted wife along with him.

No Impact Man presents an intimate emotional portrait of a couple struggling through a severe and protracted change in their lifestyle. How do they cope with the constant stress and intermittent crises of this new way of living? Or, perhaps,
when life is pared down, do some things become unexpectedly better and even
easier?
