Synopsis
Artist Vik Muniz collaborates with the trash pickers of Rio’s Jardim Gramacho — the world’s largest dump — using garbage as a medium to create portraits that reveal both their dignity and despair. 95 minutes. English and Portuguese with English subtitles.
“Easily as concerned with social and environmental issues as it is with the fine-art career that sets it in motion, the movie never focuses on big issues at the expense of the individuals it encounters.” —The Hollywood Reporter
