Minimalism

This movie introduces them, their past, and what brought them to minimalism. The movie highlights the problems society is facing with over-consumption and keeping up with the joneses, which Josh and Ryan then present a beautiful alternative.

Kiss the Ground
One of the most recent environmental films out there, Kiss the Ground has a simple solution to solving climate change: soil.
One of the points the film makes is that we already have a fancy invention worth trillions of dollars that works perfectly and effortlessly at sequestering carbon out of the atmosphere: plants and healthy soil.
The problem is the way we are farming and treating the land disrupts this process by degrading soil.
Narrated by Woody Harrelson, the movie can get a little bit overwhelming at times with a lot of information and dreariness. But we can always count on Woody to simplify things and bring them back to the ground floor.
All in all, this movie leaves its watchers inspired and excited to contribute to such a simple (although difficult) solution to the environmental crisis.

Damnation
A Patagonia film, there are thousands of dams which are still in place that no longer contribute anything to society except for environmental degradation.
And some dams, while operational, still do more harm than good.
Damnation aims to shine a light on the problem with dams across much of the United States which are still sitting there restricting fish from spawning, impacting wildlife, and the natural flow of the river.
With a mixture of public hearings, civil disobedience, dynamite, and a call to action, this movie is as exciting as it is gut wrenching to see the impact these dams are having.
Happily, we have seen hundreds of dams demolitioned in the years following the release of this film, and hundreds more that are in line on the chopping block.
