Craigslist Joe

Craigslist Joe (2012) is an American documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Filmmaker Joseph Garner stripped his life down to a single laptop and spent thirty days surviving entirely on the goodwill of strangers — people who answered ads on Craigslist.

No cash, no contacts, no safety net. Just a posting board and whoever showed up. Garner hitched rides, slept in strangers' homes, ate free meals from people he had never met — all during the worst stretch of the American recession. What he found out about community and trust turned out to be more surprising than the premise. Stream Craigslist Joe (2012) online on iFILM.
