The film "Nomadland" won several awards: the Oscar for Best Picture. The film''s director, Chloe Zhao, won the Oscar for Best Director, and Frances McDormand won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in the film as well. The film "Nomadland" or: "Land of the Nomads" revolves around a woman who loses her job in a small town and decides to live in a mobile home in a small truck in areas of the American West. The film''s director, Chloe Zhao, of Chinese origin, achieved a historic achievement as the first woman of color to win the award and the second woman in history to achieve this achievement.

The film is a unique hybrid genre that combines "road movie", social drama and documentary and follows a group of elderly Americans living a nomadic life after they lost everything during the mortgage crisis. It is directly inspired by a book bearing the same name published in 2017 by the American journalist Jessica Bruder after she lived among these nomads in small camper vans while they made a living from small jobs.
