Tim Hussin makes clear that he and his brother are really sharing in the lives of the people they meet.
TIM HUSSIN: “You know, it’s not like we are staying nearby in a hotel or something, and just visiting every day or every other day. We are actually sleeping in their houses and eating breakfast with them. So, we have very much become a part of whatever we are documenting.”
Noah says their trip began at a bicycle cooperative in Asheville. Co-op members make bicycles from used parts.
NOAH HUSSIN: “We discovered this bicycle co-op. You can come in there and just sort through a whole garage of old parts and they’ll teach you how to basically build a bicycle from the scraps.”
The Hussin brothers made a video at the bicycle co-op. They wanted to show how some Americans are turning away from years of globalization. Noah Hussin says this happening all across the United States.
NOAH HUSSIN: “Small communities are falling apart, whether it’s towns that are losing their industry or whether it’s just people choosing the life in suburbs where there isn’t the cultural infrastructure to bring people together. We sense that a lot of people are kind of starting to lament that loss of community in this country.”
The first stop for the brothers was at an urban homestead. This is a place where the people who live there produce everything they need themselves. The Hussins made a short film about the place. The homesteaders talk about how their way of life gives them a chance to follow their creative interests, like music, sewing, cooking or building.
