Oscar Nominee 'Nomadland' Spotlights Van-Dwelling Lifestyle, Jobs

U.S. film “Nomadland”, which earned six Oscar nominations on Monday, tells the story of a woman who becomes a nomad in the wake of the economic recession - spotlighting a way of life that has seen an explosion of interest in the time of coronavirus.

The U.S. recession drama, which follows the story of an itinerant Amazon warehouse worker who lives in her oversize recreational vehicle (RV), received six nods, including best picture and best director for Chinese-born filmmaker Chloe Zhao.

Of the 11.2 million RV owners in the United States, about 1.5% are “full-timers” and more than half of those continue to work and live with their children, according to the RV Industry Association.
