A new documentary film from forensic psychologist Maryanne Galvin, the award-winning AS IS: A DOWNSIZED LIFE presents 4 gritty real accounts of the fallout of unemployment and displacement. The program is saved, however, from utter bleakness by the hope infused accounts of 5 others who have embraced voluntary economic simplicity for a variety of reasons. AS IS delves into themes of self-respect, honor and freedom, attainable for some through total disengagement from consumer society and others by losing everything and starting over. Former Disney artists, entertainers, physicians, monastic nuns, educators all dispossessed and challenging the axiomatic " more, more, more" with the idea that a well-lived life has less to do with more and more to do with better.
