Craigslist Joe is a 2012 documentary film that follows Joseph Garner for a month of travel across the United States, solely supporting himself by contacting people on the website Craigslist.[4] He spent the month without using any form of currency and without contacting people he already knew,[5] relying on Craigslist users' "kindness and generosity".[1][6]
