Within Reach: Journey to Find Sustainable Community (2013)

10
Buy $5
Stream + download anytime

Within Reach explores one couple's pedal-powered search for a place to call home. Mandy and Ryan gave up their jobs, cars, and traditional houses to 'bike-pack' 6500 miles around the USA seeking sustainable community. Rather than looking in a traditional neighborhood, they begin to recognize that community is the secret ingredient to living sustainably on this planet. Along the way, they explored 100 ecovillages, cohousing communities, co-op houses, communes, transition towns, and their own principles and commitment.

Within Reach is now offered for free, in the spirit of the gift! If you'd like to show your thanks, you can buy the film on this page. 100% of the proceeds goes to support the filmmakers. - Films For Action
