Is Unconditional Giving a Myth?A free exchange group tests the limits of generosity.

Buy Nothing groups promise a community based on giving, not getting. We explore what happens when the spirit of generosity clashes with our unspoken need for fairness. This story uncovers the hidden emotional transactions within these free exchanges. When you give without expecting anything back, are you being altruistic or just naive? We follow one woman's journey into the world of free-cycling and discover the surprising social dynamics at play.
