Omg.
"A film by Matt D'Avilla"
That's epic. That's a symbol of quality. Oh yes.
I also just discovered this!
reacted the same way when i saw that.
now where is this docu??? where can I see it?
When I went backpacking a few years ago I could fit everything I owned into one medium sized bag. Its probably no coincidence that it was the happiest time of my whole life. I highly recommend it
I used to wash my few clothes in a bucket when I was in Israel on a Kibbutz. You soon learn to ditch anything thats heavy and not important. I left quite a few things behind before moving on to my next kibbutz. Yes, it was a good time...meeting people and sharing experiences was the best.
Same here, backpacked for 9 months in 2013 in Europe and southeast Asia and I was so happy, and all what I owned was on a backpack
here here
I've lived like a gypsy my whole life having moved 25 times. I'm now 32. I'm not going to be living like a hobo with 2 kids and a husband. I like my creature comforts and hangers for my small capsule wardrobe. Back packing isn't for everyone
@@ah5721 I agree. Definitely don't want to be moving around if you have a family etc. I've put my roots down now in my 30s and I'm totally done with travelling, but in my early 20s I was carefree and loved it living on a shoe string with next to no possessions weighing me down. Is it feasible to live like when I have a family? Probably not, but I had a good time whilst I was doing back then. I have a mortgage, steady job and live near my family, I still try to live frugally because I know more possessions don't make me happy
This is what the ancient Vedic philosophy taught us. Balance and minimalism is key to happiness.
Beautiful Vedic way... the root of almost every surviving religion
Are u from india
That's what came to my mind too
Even Islam teaches us the same thing. Fascinating!
Own less and help Earth survive. This is an amazing film.
I am 16 years old and this documentary has changed the way i look at things
THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS!
Lucky you. 16 and seeing the bullshit.
Why we still cherish the memories of our school days even though we didn't have much money or items at that time. I think coz real happiness comes from being with the people and not with the things. Even a tea at roadside vendor but with good friend can make us more happy than a lavish dinner in hotel.
Minimalism is SO NEEDED in this world of over-consumtion (aka over-exploitation of this planet).
About one month ago, I was perusing the new releases on Netflix and scrolled across your Documentary. I was not searching for a change. My life is average, normal. I am not debt free, but not drowning in it either. I was not researching minimalism or even had any interest in any version of minimalism. I had no reason to watch this documentary other than to answer one single question birthed from your title. ‘A documentary about important things’, Ok. What do Josh and Ryan consider important things?
So, I started the documentary. Minute by minute, I kept trying to find the ‘gotcha!’.
Some examples:
Oh they are trying to get you to get rid of everything, like a cult!
Nope.
Oh, they are poor, so of course they live this lifestyle.
No, no, no. They didn’t stay poor.
Oh, they went bankrupt so they kind of had to start this lifestyle.
Not really. Debt was only a catalyst, but this is a lifestyle they have maintained for years.
Oh, they are selling a very specific version of minimalism to capitalize on it.
Nope, definitely not. There are all different kinds of minimalists in this video.
My jaw dropped lower, my eyes grew wider, and my outlook on life grew brighter as I realized I was watching/hearing the first genuinely original message in a piece of media I have seen in a very long time.
I completed the documentary and then watched it again the next day, thinking, maybe I was just being suggestible the previous day. No, your message was the same, my feeling was the same.
So I listened to the podcasts. No Ads?
Then I checked out your facebook. No Ads!
Then I looked into your publishing business and all the practices the business changed for itself to stay true to your message.
You mean it and you are proving it is possible to live outside this deafening, compulsory consumerist society, AND THRIVE outside of it. All you want to do (and are doing), is let people know that it is possible. You don’t have to accept this is the way the world is and submit to a life constant discontent.
THANK YOU JOSH AND RYAN. My life is changing in a great way, and it’s thanks to you and your documentary (and podcasts, and essays, and books… that I never had to pay for, but donated to later).
ThePoeticdancer what's the name of the Netflix documentary?
I left my wife after watching this movie. I thought it was magic....she said it was stupid....#nuffsaid
@M. Besoins who else better to explain it
They are just marketing a lifestyle. Have you not noticed the hidden subway, new yorker and other ads? They're just hypocrites/business men
Bottom-line for me has been- and always will be- to strive for a better world. I was never happy, however. Helping others seemed so easy, yet helping myself seemed so impossible.
Being a minimalist is a kind of happiness that you got when you remove those thing that you don't want to use ❤
I like this, minimalism is another step to FREEDOM, I think that is what we are looking for.
No, money is freedom now
Minimalism did wonders for my mental health. I love it
When I saw the title and the 2:45 length of this video I thought "Man! They really are into Minimalism! They even minimized the documentary."
I think this has a lot to do with your "blueprint". My parents never spoiled me; in regards to gifts, I think the most notable gift was a play station 2 when it was already out for many years for me to share with my siblings- I was ecstatic. Alternatively, i remembered my friends bragging about all the shit they got for christmas or their birthday, 1 friend got a new $15,000 snowmobile, the other $750 earrings that weren't big enough so he exchanged them to get bigger ones. The funny thing is I truly never envied them. Now at 23, I'm probably the least materialistic person I know. I'm sure people who know me would say the same about me. I am completely happy and couldn't thank my parents enough for raising me like this as I appreciate everything i have and realize I don't need the newest thing out to be happy.
Jason M I had a ps2 too when most of my friends/people had a ps3 or xbox 360. I wanted it but it wasn't something I needed and I was fine with getting it years later.
This actually rings so true for me. My most notable gift was a dog which was after years of pleading and we only got one because we were burgled (lived in Africa). My next most notable gift was a PS2 which I got in 2004. I can't say I wasn't envious of my friends that had moe lavish gifts etc but I am so grateful to my parents now it's unreal! Oh and I'm 23 as well, never owned another games console since m PS2 and don't really intend on another one tbh.
Jason M Good point! unfortunately I also know a few ppl who's parents raised them materially simply & they were so envious of others. they grew up to be sadly materialistic & miserable to be around. nature + nurture.
Whoa! I'm 23 too and as I've gotten older I've realized that there some material things that I just don't need. I'm middle class and I've come to appreciate all the non material things that I've gotten more than the things you can just buy. I'm also thankful for my family being appreciative.
Jason M I feel like nowadays the media always tries to convince everyone to buy new shit, and it genuinely drags people in to this black hole...it takes a lot if willpower and strength to stay away from all of these cleverly advertised products that everyone always gets when in reality they're completely useless. Sorry if nothing makes sense, it's been a long, difficult day.
I will never forget the day I discovered this documentary. I was scrolling through Netflix when I saw the title "Minimalism". I don't know why, but it caught my attention and it started a journey. Nearly a year later, I am more than I've ever been, and I own less than I ever have.
I have always been very sentimental when it comes to my belongings and I find it hard letting go of things. This made my life very cluttered. Finding the minimalists was one of the best things that happened to me in 2020. I am a student of architecture and I just began my minimalist journey. I hope to apply it to every area of my life. Wish me luck ♡. I also decided to start a blog and CZcams channel to document my minimalism journey. I hope it goes well.
I'm a big believer in doing things outside the usual template made by society throughout the years. This documentary is really interesting and gives a good idea about minimalism to people who are not familiar with the concept. They look at it from all sides; money, fashion , environment, health (both physical and mental). Just great stuff, highly recommend if you want to broaden your horizons.
I watched the documentary on Netflix late 2017 after the summer I graduated high school
(gymnasiet in Sweden). I remember it was about kl. 22-23 in the evening(10-11 pm).
I was scrolling through Netflix to find something to watch.
This was during the time I saw a future going down a path, the same path you guys went down.
At the time I did not understand how I stressed I was because of that vision. 19 years old at
the time and already miserable. Because of my childhood of bullying and a very hard childhood
knowing that I have a disability(later I would I find out I had two disabilities).
As I was scrolling and looking for something to watch, I saw the cover art for the documentary.
What stood out and intrigued me was were you guys were standing in that photo. The simplicity
of the picture itself and the title. I put my mouse over the documentary. I saw and i thought "1
hour and 18 minutes". I started it, and basically changed my entire vision of the future. I want to finish with
truly thank you so much making the documentary. Going through depression right now, and transporting
the things that I own is easier than ever. This change has allowed me to contemplate how lucky I
am to have been born into the life that I have lived so far. Also to be so grateful for what I have in my life.
I fight the depression every day and you guys making thee documentary has made that so much easier. I have followed
you for over a year and the value to me especially the docuemntary makes me speechless. Truly grateful and
THANK YOU so much for what you do. Keep up the amazing work!
I'm not sure if this is a normal reaction, but I literally started sobbing after I saw this trailer. I think it really hits home. Just found out about you guys a month or so ago and have been listening to your podcast and reading your book Everything That Remains. I'm really excited to see the film in Chicago with my husband. Just bought my tickets :)
On my way to become minimalist, i realised I have no energy to go Shopping mall anymore.
I was lucky enough to see this at a private preview and it is even better than the trailer!
+C.C. Chapman Thanks, brother! The theatrical version is even better than the film-festival version you saw. Looking forward to sharing it with you.
+The Minimalists
Dear The Minimalists staff,
Have you planned to release a DVD version with English subtitles? I'm interested in buying it from Taiwan if you have a plan.

Wonderful!
im hoping he travels through the country alot, maybe ill see him in person live one day
I am so in love with this channel. I am 40 years old and just started investing in stocks, and ETFs. I even started my IRA, and 401k with the help of my licensed trade analyst, I’ve been able to compound over $16k in profits from my trades.. It’s exciting, and I’m learning wish 25 year old me knew this stuff.
It’s almost the same situation here. The difference is that I got off early enough to know that financial planning would help me go a long way. I’m in my 60’s and reaping off my hardwork.
Individuals contemplating investing in the markets should get seasoned guidance. I encourage you to look up Egan Hestrel on his webpage Hestrelegan.. info to get acquainted with services.
It is to leverage both the ability of decision making, and spotting the right investments. It’s your shot. You got this. It’s a bold step I’m sure gonna take.
He recommend investing no more than 60% of my portfolio in growth stocks. The rest should be in a diversified mix of low cost index mutual funds that has earned me more overtime.
Compounding interest dictates that even small sums of money can be turned into fortunes over time. The case for me since I got working with Hestrel, since providing me with the right investment choices.
This is the video that inspired me to make my own video on minimalism, and I'm so happy I was able to know about this because it's changed my life :') 💖💖
Hey guys. Just wanted to say that I've tried to preach that for years and your documentary was really amazing. It will help the planet survive. You guys are doing a great thing!
I guess Buddhism would be the ultimate minimalism.
ha.. true
That true man
yess
i wouldn't call what they're doing in Burma minimalism
Try true east way of life which was practiced and preached by great sages who found truth of life and defined these minimalist way of life that spread across all aspects of life from food, sex , birth and administrating and preserving for life to come.
Religious, cultural , spiritual......
Guys, We need this in Dubai.
The people NEED it here!!!
I need it as well.
Please!
Or try getting it online. (Ready to pay)
lol
I just recently started my life with minimalism because of financial purposes and let me tell you, It feels great! Not only feels great in my pocket but it also feels great in my mind and habitat by cleaning and getting rid of clutter that don't bring happiness or utility in my life! Clearer spaces equals clearer mind. Also not being a compulsive consumer. Everything feels so free !
I like that the film is 53 min long and not 120 min like a lot of other documentaries.
What I am today is a total inspiration from you guys and the moment I saw “The Minimalists” documentary in NETFLIX. I am ever grateful. Although I am trying to implement Minimalism in many aspects of my life , I feel its a long long journey to get to a point where I want to. But I am happy I am sharing perks with my own small community.
I think simple heart ❤️ on my notifications just made my day
when i watched this documentary for the first time i was 15 and it completely changed my mindset. i got rid off maaany things (mostly trash i kept for no reason). when i watched it yesterday (half year later) i got rid of even more unnecessary stuff and i feel it’s not the end. thank you so much, you inspire me to making my life mine and i am so grateful for that
Been following the blog for a while now, this documentary looks amazing guys, congratulations!
I haven't seen the film yet, but I just have to say that this is so incredebly well made. I have watched this trailer several times, just because it has such an exciting and at the same time calming effect. The music and the editing are amazing and it makes the message come across as so much more powerful.
"He has the most who is most content with the least."
-Diogenes
Can't wait to see. This is a message I need to be reminded of and hope to instill in my children.
"When you recognize that this life is of your own..." Stepping away from my home, living in a completely different place has and is teaching me so much about living a life on your own terms. I like to have things bought with thought and minimum. And the quite resonates deep within me. Lovely.
This film looks amazing! I'm so glad there are people in the world who take the time to share things like this :) Thank you.
So excited for this!!!
So pumped! Looks incredible!
Now a subscriber and a fan. I don't care what the others are saying negatively about this documentary nor about people who are into minimalism. For me it is somehow directing me to a correct path, and might be saving me to some more supposedly troubles that I may encounter throughout life. It really opened up my eyes to not be materialistic, and always think twice before I buy something. I think minimalism fits me really well as I am also a type with a bit of OCD. Decluttering somehow makes me feel at peace and in sync with life. Hope I can buy one of their books as my inspiration. I am planning to start my journey to minimalism but I know it won't be that easy.. 😉
Thank you. My deepest gratitude for you making this. I can share it with my people, my children and remind my heart why I live this way and continue to choose to move more and more towards my goal of minimal living.
Only now did I realize that I've been living as a minimalist the past 10yrs or so. I saw my parents living in a 2 storey house with everything but they used nothing and struggled to even keep the house clean. I subconsciously started buying things I absolutely loved and valued. I only have 1 pair of shoe(s) 4 tops, 1 ripped jeans (it ripped when I had a motorcycle accident, so I ripped it more and made it fashion) 1 pair of pants and 3 t-shirts for wearing at home (ripped to my liking and comfort) in my wardrobe. When my bag tore, my first instinct was to buy another one, but then I thought, what would I do with this ripped one, so i... You guessed it! Sewed it.
This speaks to my soul
Joshua and Ryan, thank you both for the beautifully crafted, touching, and inspiring film. I encourage all the watch it.
I always question people who buy things they dont really need and hardly understand what they really need. this is such extraordinary film
This should be taught in schools 😔
We’re learning this in class right now!! (Grade 8)
@@maxawesomess4735good for you 👍🏻
The point is, minimalism does wonders for the environment.
Absolutely loved and adored the documentary and somehow I will always look up to the people that are speaking and included in it 💗 thank you so much for making this
I've seen the documentary already, I loved it, everyone should watch it . I always knew I was a minimalist, but I didn't know their was a word for it until I saw it. Long live the minimalist life!!!
Can't wait for this documentary to appear on iTunes so international minimalists can watch it too
Looking forward to seeing this. Hope you can bring it over to the UK and Europe as close to May as possible, I'd love the opportunity to show this to my friends!
I agree with you, and I was planning share with my friends too!
UK would be amazing too guys 👍🏼
I can't wait until I can watch it. I'm living in The Netherlands, so I have to wait until I can see it online, but only the trailer is already so inspiring! Love it!
For me watching this documentary was what set the deal, I was a minimalist without knowing it had a name!, everyone should watch this!
Great trailer! I'm really looking forward to this!!
I love minimalism. Actually, from my age of 14 or 18, I started to declutter. But those days I didn't knew this was a part of the minimalist lifestyle. Accidently I saw the video of Matt D'Avella and then I realized what this style of living is called. After knowing more about the minimalist lifestyle, I started to love this more. Also, I love to watch this documentary. Thank you.
Im so excited to see this documentary... Unfortunatedly I'm in Mexico. I hope The Minimalists can upload it on youtube or Netflix. I know they put a great effort at this documentary!
I'm so excited to watch this! This is exactly what I have been thinking about for so long.
This is awesome, just what I needed!
This is one life changing documentary! ♥ Thanks to them we were able to spread this amazing message in Urdu. ✌
After recently discovering your podcast I'm really exited to see this! Hope it gets screened in Toronto :)
Watching again to reinsure myself to let go more. I am so far along with minimalism but I feel that I need a jumpstart to launch my new life direction ever since my husband was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. I'm asking myself "What is my place in the world" and to get there, I think I need to re-assess my priorities and minimalism is such a great way to strip away things.
Still relevant today and always will💯
I think the term "minimalism" implies some kind of lack, a lack of some thing.
When really consumerism can sometimes be when we are trying to fill a void in ourselves with "things". Which is really where the lack or void lives.
Maybe there needs to be a new term. Like fullism! 🌺
Just watched it. Great documentary. Very, very good. Thanks.
I can't explain how much this documentary helped me! Thank you so much!!!! A big hug from Chile 🇨🇱
Absolutely beautiful, is this coming out internationally in theatres?
I've been waiting for this one for years.
+Oscar Cabral I've been waiting for this one for years. >!!!OBAMA!!!
If we all people are minimalist, there's no greed and we can also protect our nature by conserving natural resources and refused to overhoard everything.
this change everything. thank you so much.
throwing myself a packing party today! IT BEGINS!!
Minimalism can be called as functionality basically. I like this kind of lifestyle for me presently. It is less stressful in general.
Wow this has inspired me. Like I used to be this person who would want a lot of things thinking it would make me happy bit at the end the outcome was not what I expected. But now I realize what is good for me. Thank you
Just watched this on Netflix.
Incredible documentary and a real eye opener.
Can't wait to see this!
My Green Closet I loved seeing you in this!
Selena Torres Hi how are you
I wanna see this so bad, subbed!
You are such an inspiration, the minimimalist 💕 Thank you for sharing this to us.
Great documentary! I just saw it. Thank you for making this!
everyone should watch this on Netflix
Is there a screening in Norway?
Awesome trailer. Thanks for all the work you do.
I'm a person who don't buy a lot. When i start it .. i was able to watch only 25 minutes and my mind was on explosion of my way to comsume !!!! Give me confidence to become a minimalism !! Thx a lot for this beautiful documentary.
The Minimalism Force Awakens - I have felt it ;)
yes!!!! open your eyes people!
+Julita Galwa yes!!!! open your eyes people!
a film by Matt D'avella. i was astonished. i literally watched his videos everyday and now i feel like he is my brother already.AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE HE FEELS THE SAME.
Best documentary I ever saw!!! I admid I see it on a regular base just because I love it so much! Netflix must think I have a mental problem😂. Thank you Josh and Ryan! I always hated consumarisme I buy what I need, nothing more nothing less. Been like this my whole life in opposite of my kapitalist family membres... I give stuff away when I'm done with it, give to charity the money I can spare. I spend money on true friends and people. Never was jealous of other people's stuff, I always thought good for them right? Hope you guys will do another documentary in the future.
I would agree that the " *_obsession_* " with things needs addressed. But that obsession and ones then feeling the need to go into some sort of aesetic life-style ... can be just as destructive, because both concepts are simply different sides of the same coin. Which is Obsession. A lack of balance. It's what all humans seem to have a difficult time achieving. *_Balance_* Material wealth and a number of 'things' that can be properly maintained ... there is nothing wrong with. As long as obsession does not take over. Not having much in the way of material 'things' ... there is nothing wrong with it. As long as this obsession towards minimalism does not take over the persons life ( _and yes that's happened too with young ones courch surfing to avoid things getting killed. Just going to live on other peoples couches for the rest of their life and they ended up murdered while pursuing that nonsense or the more famous example of Christopher McCandless_ )
Materialism and minimalism are two sides of the same coin
Eegads people. Dump ALL obsessions, and get some balance
“When I heard about minimalism, it wasn't about just getting rid of my stuff, it was about taking control of my life, and stop being told what to do and actually deciding what I wanted to do. “
Ryan Nicodemus
The minimalist
Awesome!!! Watched the doc. Need/want to apply some minimalist values to my life.
SEE. THIS. MOVIE.
For anyone looking for more space, physical and emotional, this excellent documentary is a fantastic introduction to escaping our exhausting consumerist culture.
I was fortunate to find on Netflix and have started purging my home today. It truly feels amazing.
I tip my hat to the films makers and principles.
I've heard this concept before but i never observed, and then i felt stuck in my room with too many things around so i looked for the solution how to solve this stuckness, whats the source of this feeling, without i realize the source is from our own "garbage" things. Thanks minimalist
Can't wait to watch this. Will it be available to watch without going to a screening? DVD, download, etc?
+Alexsheena After the U.S. theatrical run this summer, it will hit theaters in Canada and Australia. We're also working on overseas distribution. Then, after all that, we'll work on an online release. Hope you can make it to a screening, though. It looks awesome in a theater!
+The Minimalists Ok cool. I ask because I live in the UK, I didn't know if you were only doing US screenings.
+The Minimalists bring it to germany !!! :D
Just found this! Great job you two! :) Also nice camera shots in SLC and the Salt Flats! Cheers!
I'm so looking forward to this. I hope to see it soon in Australia!
