Thanks to the WORLD CINEMA SHOWCASE 2011, we can all participate in the wonderful cinematic journey of the truly inspiring documentary 'WASTE LAND'.
It's not often that any waste land is in the spotlight, so this special documentary shines a light on those who base their lives around this particularly unique landscape.
Watch the 'Waste Land' trailer below...
"An uplifting feature documentary highlighting the transformative power of art and the beauty of the human spirit. Top-selling contemporary artist Vik Muniz takes us on an emotional journey from Jardim Gramacho, the world's largest landfill on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, to the heights of international art stardom. Vik collaborates with the brilliant catadores, pickers of recyclable materials, true Shakespearean characters who live and work in the garbage quoting Machiavelli and showing us how to recycle ourselves."
