As you may be aware a documentary about FIRE has been made and is coming to the big(gish) screen and then presumably the small screen at some point in the future. In some exciting news it will be coming to Australia in August.
Obviously I haven’t seen it yet but Aussie Firebug saw it in London and did a podcast on it. On the recommendation of a good friend I actually broke my rule about not listening to podcasts (they just don’t work for me as a medium, although I was recently told if I try it on 1.5x speed it might be better) and played the whole thing.
From the discussion on the podcast it seems like the documentary has been aimed at the masses who are currently living beyond their means and not giving a thought to FI, let alone RE, rather than those who are already hardcore into FIRE. So if you’re looking for an opportunity to introduce the concept to friends or family this may be an ideal conversation starter.
The only Australian events that I know of so far are in Sydney and Melbourne, but hopefully it will be coming to other capitals and major cities as well. It looks like there is an option to host a screening so for those who live somewhere else if you’re keen on seeing it then get involved!
If there are other cities hosting screenings then please let me know, I’d be more than happy to update this post to add on any new events.
Will you be going along to the Playing with FIRE documentary?
I’m going to the Melbourne one.

Unfortunately I’m going to be overseas at the time, otherwise I’d have suggested a meetup! Hope you enjoy the film!
I’m going to be at the Sydney one 🙂
Have fun there Miss Balance!
