Human existence is oblivious to Nature. We don't live in fear of natural disaster. The rhythm of life is fast and self absorbed in the human world. When nature stretches and moves, we call it a Catastrophe. Our very survival is threatened. Earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, monsoons, forest fires, Tsunamis, Tornadoes and other events in nature result in dire circumstances for human populations. Nature steps on centers of human population like people step on ant hills...by accident...but the damage is already done. Ants regroup and rebuild immediately as a unit...heroic in their efforts. Do humans have that level of heroism in the face of an environmental catastrophe? Who exemplify this level of non-judgmental selfless heroism? There are heroes. This movie is a short story of hope.

People have several needs. Food and water. Safety and security. Shelter. Taking a whole-systems approach, green-builders Sean Sands and Pete Matheson strive to integrate these considerations into the homes they build, low-cost dwellings that utilize both natural and waste-stream/reclaimed materials, homes that are designed for efficiency, simplicity and sustainability. Drawing inspiration from the seminal local-eating and local food tome 'The 100 Mile Diet,' a blueprint for '100 Mile Housing' begins to take shape, an approach to housing and lifestyles change that advocates local solutions and local empowerment for those interested not just in experimental building, but in building lives and communities that can be sustained in perpetuity.
