Garbage! The Revolution Starts at Home


Won a special mention award at the CINEMAMBIENTE Italian Enviro Fest

Genre: Documentary. Director: Andrew Nisker. USA, 2008. 77 minutes.

Leading up to the Litter Free Auroville‘s massive cleanup on January 29th we will show two films concerning Waste Management issues. Garbage! The Revolution Starts at Home is a feature documentary about how the family household has become one of the most ferocious environmental predators of our time.  Concerned for the future of his new baby boy Sebastian, writer director Andrew Nisker takes an average urban family, the McDonalds, and asks them to keep every scrap of garbage that they create for three months. He then takes them on a journey to find out where it all goes and what it’s doing to the world.  Garbage! skillfully and succinctly puts all of the information in one place – shifting the movement from melting glaciers and oil slicks to our neighborhoods and into our homes, so that average people can connect the dots between their actions and the environment and be inspired to change their polluting ways.

  1. Hello!
    Greetings from South America. I was in Sadhana a couple fridays while living in India and I love all of your movies. I’d like to know whether it’s possible to buy them, what can I do to have them and watch them at home?
    All the best. You’re amazing!
