In times where the environmental impacts of our modern lifestyle are evident, two UCSB graduate students show us an alternative way to live. Anchored presents the life of Rodrigo and Miguel, who live on a small 30-foot sailboat in front of the UCSB campus. From paddling to school everyday instead of driving a car, to using only their solar panels for energy, this documentary shows that our lifestyle choices might be crucial to solving today’s environmental challenges.
