For those of you who are not familiar with this movie, Wasteland is a documentary that came out a year ago about a project by Vik Muniz, a famous Brazilian artist from São Paulo. In this film, Vik goes to Jardim Gramacho in Rio de Janeiro, one of the largest open air dumps in the world, to work with a group of catadores who make their living picking recyclable out of the dump. The movie is very beautifully done and does as an incredible job showing the personal stories of this amazing group of people who manage to survive and thrive in what are truly some of the most abhorrent conditions of poverty that you can imagine. I hope that those of you who take the time to watch it enjoy!
