Outdoor Films: Nomadland

Nomadland (2020). Directed by Chlo© Zhao, 108 min., R

Based on Jessica Bruder’s book Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century, this film tells the story of Fern (Frances McDormand), a middle-aged woman who packs her van and sets off on the road as a modern-day nomad after the economic collapse of her hometown in rural Nevada. Throughout her journey, she meets other nomads who become her mentors amidst the vast and breathtaking landscape of the American West. Nomadland is a fascinating celebration of humanity, independence, and adventure.
