Before watching this documentary film, I read comments and observations from other viewers on and several other review only sites. So many reviews talked about the "beauty" of this film. A few spoke of hidden mental illness. However, no one mentioned how truly disturbing and ungrateful this "Dylan" is. He isn't free, nor is he the smiling, chilled out, hippy, street guy that the viewer first meets. As the film progresses we see how his "choice" to live on the streets in supposed "freedom" is an excuse to get drunk and receive countless handouts from people who fall for his initial guise of caring for humanity and living a life that is free to choose. One particularly disturbing example is when he throws away a bag (actually, he chucks it into the street!) of bagels because they prevent him in obtaining further cash from begging. He also lies quite a bit, whenever it suits him. The longer I watched, the more disgusted I became. This film made me angry. It's a film about someone who has a mental illness, it's called self-centered laziness. Dylan is not an idealist; he is a scam artist.

Warning: Spoilers
The commenter that wrote that not one person shows signs of mauling or injury has CLEARLY NOT WATCHED even one episode.
These people have survived attacks that have left some of them as amputees, needing complete facial reconstruction, or even the man who has designed his own prosthetic leg... TO NAME ONLY A FEW.
Shame on people who write a review without watching.
I've watched every episode so far and they are commendable in that these people not only survive, but remain humane and still love the outdoors and other living creatures. There is no hate.
A the end of each episode we are shown actual pictures of them with all their injuries and what needed to be done to save their lives in each case.
Amrshehata85, honestly, don't write fake reviews. They are being interviewed YEARS after the attacks. Don't be absurd and for the sake of those who want an accurate and truthful comment, WATCH ALL OF THE EPISODE.
