In this episode: An interview with Nick Rosen, the award-winning documentary-maker and author of the book How to Live Off-grid: Journeys Outside the System. His book, published by Doubleday June 2007, is a guide to escaping the rat race -- part of an ecological campaign to change the rules on planning permission via his website Off-Grid.net started in 1996. In the early nineties Nick became a freelance journalist, primarily writing for The Times and The Guardian. It was during this period that he met Katharine Hamnett and co-founded the short lived eco magazine TOMORROW.

In 1992, Rosen formed a TV production company, Vivum, and began to make documentaries for the ITV First Tuesday series. In 1992-3 he produced Brezhnev's Daughter, a documentary about the way the Nomenklatura were coming to terms with the new order in Russia. It won Best International Production prize at the NY Film and TV Festival.

In 2004, Rosen produced Sacred Ground, the fight for Ground Zero, for PBS and Channel 4 – a film about the battle to build a meaningful memorial at Ground Zero, and in 2006 he produced Britain's Commuter Nightmare, a one-hour documentary for Channel 4 Dispatches. - Wikipedia
