2026 New Jersey International Film Festival Interview with Greenfield Director Rob Herring

By Vic Fern

originally published: 06/01/2026



Here is 2026 New Jersey International Film Festival Video Interview with Greenfield Director Rob Herring and Festival Director Al Nigrin. Greenfield will screen at the 2026 New Jersey International Film Festival on Friday, June 5, 2026.

Greenfield – Rob Herring (Whitefish, Montana) Greenfield is an intimate look into the mind and mission of Robin Greenfield — one of the world’s most radical environmentalists. Known for his bold eco-experiments, including wearing a month’s worth of trash through Times Square, living a full year on only homegrown and foraged food, and giving up every possession, Robin challenges what it means to live in harmony with the Earth. As he walks barefoot from Canada to Mexico with nothing to his name, his radical simplicity invites us to question what we truly need to be free, fulfilled, and human. 2025; 34 min.

Greenfield will screen at the 2026 New Jersey International Film Festival as part of Short Documentary Film Program on Friday, June 5, 2026 – Online for 24 Hours and In-Person at 7PM! Get tickets and more info here.
