Garbage Warrior is an inspiring portrayal of the ingenuity and persistence of renegade architect Michael Reynolds. This refreshing and often fascinating documentary follows Michael and his green disciples from their early designs through to their fully-functional self-sufficient communities built essentially from trash and which still stand strong today.
 
Although alien to our conventional society, these beer-can walls and tyre-filled foundations prove to be revolutionary to the many homes destroyed by the Tsunami in 2005.
 
As Michael himself describes, the journey is at the beginning and his seven year fight simply for the right to experiment, reminds us all of the bureaucracy and often short-sightedness of the institutions who run the State. 
 
Garbage Warrior is a documentary which stirs the real sense of what it’s actually like to live freely – in all meanings of the word. The documentary is filmed well and the passion of what’s at stake is conveyed seamlessly. Watch it and you’ll soon be turning trash into treasure - hopefully!
