In the American west, a community of nomads travels the country living out of their cars and vans.
These individuals, and their unique lifestyle, served as inspiration for the six-time Oscar nominated film Nomadland.

As a member of the seasonal camping community, I have nomad friends. Some are pushed into it by emotional or economic needs and others choose it knowingly. One of my friends, who had lost her home to the 2008 housing slump, once told me, "Don't pity me. I was forced into a van and found a freedom I wouldn't give up for any amount of money."

I grew up within 40 miles (San Bernardino valley) of the Mojave in So Cal and just love to spend time out there. I've since spent long periods of my life traveling via motorhome, pickup/camper, kayak/canoe (12000+ miles), bicycle (40,000+ miles), backpack (6000+ miles), and sailboat (60,000 miles circumnavigated singlehanded) in 35 different countries. Much of my time has been spent as close to nature as I can get primitive camping. I am a Nomad - 70 years young and still going strong.

Behind the apparent beauty lies hostility to them - cities and states that enacted laws which banned people sleeping in parked cars - the penalty can be devastating - their car(and home) will be towed away and face stiff fines. They have to do some "stealthing" to avoid being spotted in cities. Their insurance can barely cover anything so an illness can just destroy their lives entirely.

My only issue with the movie, "Nomadland," was that Frances McDormand's character almost never smiles. I never felt she was actually enjoying her nomad life but was just doing it as an "F-You" to her family. She looked beaten and defeated throughout the entire movie. I never got the sense that she ever overcame her grief and negative attitude to life.

There are a lot of different opinions regarding this "movie", I'm not really sure if it was a movie or a documentary. I'm afraid the one thing they never really covered was how to be a nomad as far as the monthly cost and requirements to be nomadic. If this trend continues where will the masses of nomads work in such a sparsely populated area with few employment opportunities to be had.

family structure was always an illusion. the man was the breadwinner, the woman was the homemaker, no way could that be sustained in a capitalist world with constant inflation. eventually the man and the woman both had to go out to earn the bread, the kids were left alone and to themselves and their peers and it eventually all fell apart. it's not the republicans or the democrats to blame, it's the american way of life that has fucked everything up where the rich always get richer and the poor always get poorer.
