Garbage Warrior is a feature-length documentary film telling the epic story of maverick US architect Michael Reynolds and his struggle to introduce radically sustainable housing. Oliver Hodge provides an engaging examination of this tireless, free-speaking innovator, firstly on his building and land-acquisition projects with his wife, clients and supporters, through his battles to set up enabling legislation for experimental building, the recovery of his architecture license and, more recently, constructing houses in the post-tsunami Andaman Islands.  Shot over three years in the USA, India and Mexico, Garbage Warrior is a snapshot of contemporary geo-politics and an inspirational tale of triumph over bureaucracy.  Above all Garbage Warrior is an intimate portrait of an extraordinary individual and his dream of changing the world.
