Exciting news! After seven years and 80 million views on Netflix, The Minimalists’ first documentary, Minimalism, is now available to watch for free on YouTube.
About the film
Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things, directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Matt D’Avella, examines the simple lives of minimalists from all walks of life—families, architects, artists, scientists, journalists, entrepreneurs, and even a former Wall Street broker—all of whom are living meaningfully with less.
