The new film Nomadland is about a woman named Fern who’s lost her husband, her home and her entire community: a company town that collapsed when the company did. She’s played by Frances McDormand, and in Chloé Zhao’s film, she falls into a new community of people who live on the road, out of vans and RVs.
