 GARBAGE! THE REVOLUTION STARTS AT HOME (76 minutes) Canada/USA Director/Producer: Andrew Nisker Description: 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, filmmaker 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. Everyday life under a microscope is revealing. Nisker skillfully and succinctly puts all 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.
