Recycled Life

Directed by Leslie Iwerks
Produced by Mike Glad
For over 60 years, thousands of families have made their home in the Guatemala City Garbage Dump, the largest and most toxic landfill in Central America. Yet to the many people living in this landfill, the trash is their treasure. Children were born and raised in this toxic world until 2005, when a disastrous event exposed this hidden human rights crisis and finally forced city leaders to act. 35mm. 39 mins.
