OnOff: Off The Grid
Off-grid living gets treated here as a deliberate choice rather than a fallback, and the second episode of the OnOff series follows people who have opted out of mainstream systems on purpose: financial, educational, agricultural, energy, and health systems among them. The film argues these are not dropouts but reformers, motivated by a sense of responsibility to the wider society they've stepped back from, not just to their own households. It links the off-grid choice to the broader voluntary simplicity movement, tracing a shared emphasis on conscious consumption, DIY competence, and self-sufficiency across every area of daily life. Rather than framing this as fringe behavior, the episode positions it as a slow-building trend already forcing companies and brands to rethink how they operate. Produced with Orange as strategic partner, the film stays close to its subjects' own reasoning for leaving conventional systems behind, presenting off-grid life as a worldview with practical, everyday mechanics rather than an ideology.
