Review of Craigslist Joe (2012) by Jonny P — 15 Mar 2013
"Craigslist Joe" is a moving tribute to the intrinsic goodness contained within individuals who want to help others. In this bold documentary, a 29-year-old man walks out into the world without a car, phone, or a single penny to his name.
He embarks on a journey to spend 31 days living solely off of the kindness of others via Craigslist. Throughout the film, he travels across the country and back with his cameraman (also located on Craigslist), relying on others for transportation, food, and shelter.
He even experiences a night of homelessness when two of his Craigslist contacts fall through. My only complaint is that they did not spend enough time on each episodic encounter for us to get to know the people as well as he did.
It is very cool to see the bonds that he forms with complete strangers and the unique experiences that he never would have had without stepping out of his comfort zone - this film renews my faith in humanity.
