The real world of Nomadland

(PBS NewsHour, April 23, 2021) Meet Bob Wells and the rest of the real life nomads who inspired Nomadland.

Chloe Zhao gets the limelight.

Driven out of their homes by the American economic crisis and the retirement crunch, thousands of older U.S. citizens have traded the suburbs for the open road.

Learn about this growing subculture and the realities they face finding work -- like our frenemy Stacey Pol and her daughter Maya subsisting in a vegan community in the desert out there -- staying connected and living a #VanLife​.
