The real life nomads of Nomadland - BBC News

[Music] [Music] foreign it's kind of simpatico with fern story my husband died and um we don't have kids so i just sold everything and uh just thought that i would travel for a little bit and fell in love with it and i can't see me living a different way now the bed is just built to be able to store stuff under so i have some storage and laundry and i do have a diesel heater because i don't like being cold you know i i want the comforts of home i just want the freedom to do what i want to do and where i want to do it you wake up you work out i journal i read i meditate and then i get my day started just like i would if i worked in an office i just don't work in an office my daughter had passed away from brain cancer and somehow i just intuitively need knew that i needed to hit the road even though that's something i just had never done in my entire life thank you very much yeah sure [Music] most of us in this lifestyle use a five gallon bucket most of us are in bands didn't feel like we were subjects to be filmed we were people who had a story to tell i'm so happy for the filmmakers and i'm happy for us i mean i like i said i think it just shows our heart and the reality of this lifestyle [Music] we not only accept the tyranny of the dollar the tyranny of the marketplace we embrace it we gladly throw the yoke of the tyranny of the dog [Music] it was amazing the thing that really stands out to me is how well they captured the uh the nomadic life i mean every detail of it is spot on none of it is fake or or hollywoodized in any way shape or form so i have a sink here it has a running water just push it like that i cook on this it's a stove heater combo and it also heats the van i finally saw my life on a regular movie and i was just like oh my gosh that's so weird and so neat because people don't normally see the beauty of this life they don't see the landscapes and the animals and the beautiful places that we get to camp and i love that the movie nomad land showed all of that beauty because that's why we do this that's why you
