An eye opener

As a mother of three children I like to teach them and raise them about the importance of their foot print on the planet. We recently installed solar on our home and I'm interested in other ways we can become self sufficient. This was really educational on the ways and the resources some people are living self sustainable right here in Canada.

Interesting but not for everyone.

This well made documentary deserves a higher rating and more media attention, certainly in these times where over consumption and the future lack of fossil fuels will become an enormous problem. The documentary follows random people that decided to live off the grid, back to the roots, providing their own energy from natural resources, growing their own food and being non dependant of anybody. It's not for everyone, it's a total different way of living, where you have to be capable of making big sacrifices. I admire people like that, but if I was going to live that way it's certainly not in Canada that I would do it, too cold to really enjoy life. I live already remote, in Spain, where sun is abondant, not totally off the grid but leaning towards that way of life. Life Off Grid is interesting for people that think about leaving the rat race, the documentary is mostly interesting to listen to all those different opinions and explanations of people that prefer isolation to big cities. They make it clear it's not all that easy but in the end it's worth it, just to be able to truly enjoy life.

What was the point !?

This film or documentary or whatever you want to call it services NO purpose whatsoever. If you want to watch a pointless film about people talking about how they live to catch warm-fuzzes about how superior you are because you embrace off grid life then this film is for you.You'll be happy to know this film will drive your political views about how wonderful off grid life is without offering any real proof or examples or tips or anything on how to achieve that. It's basically a mild propaganda flick on off grid life.The only people who really gained anything with the flick are the two how probably got themselves a nice big fat assed grant to avoid having to go get real jobs for the two years it took to make it. That's about the only people who would enjoy this film.It offer up nothing, no hints, or ideas, no solution, no suggestions on how to achieve that lifestyle so watching it to make yourself feel good about your choice to go off grid might be a wonderful motivator but it will get you nowhere.I looked forward to his film and wanted to learn something - all learned was how to waste time.Cheers' Dave Cason
