About this listen

A major motion picture starring Frances McDormand Six Oscar Nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actress Golden Globes Winner: Best Film, Best Director Bafta Nominated: Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress

'Sublimely written' Sunday Times

'Scorching, beautifully written, vivid, disturbing (and occasionally wryly funny)' Rebecca Solnit

From the beetroot fields of North Dakota to the campgrounds of California to Amazon's CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labour pool, made up largely of transient older adults. These invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in RVs and modified vans, forming a growing community of nomads.

Nomadland tells a revelatory tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy - one which foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us. At the same time, it celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of people who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive, but have not given up hope.

Good story, Narrator irritating

overall the story is interesting. I am having trouble only with the narrator and the way she narrates the story. I have persevered as long as I can but have had to give up. It has become monotonous and grating. There seems to be little inflection and I cannot follow the story line now. What a shame.
