barefoot: the mark baumer story
DOCUMENTARY | 87 MINS | USA | DIRECTOR: JULIE SOKOLOW | PRODUCERS: OLIVIA VAUGHN, DANNY YOURD | AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
From award-winning filmmaker Julie Sokolow comes this loving portrait of Mark Baumer, an environmental activist, avant-garde writer, and vegan, who hiked barefoot for over 100 days through America to draw attention to climate change. In a voice The New Yorker praised as “reminiscent of Andy Kaufman”, Baumer narrates his offbeat take on life and how we all can make a difference.
Skillfully edited from Baumer’s own self-recorded videos, along with interviews from family and friends, a moving portrait filled with laughs, tragedy, and inspiration.
