Waste Land

A fascinating, informative, Oscar-nominated, 2010 documentary in which successful, contemporary, Brooklyn-based Brazilian artist Vik Muniz showcases the plight of garbage pickers such as Taio, Magna, Isis, Suelem, Valter, and Zumbi at the world's largest garbage landfill called Jardim Gramacho near Rio de Janeiro and raised more than $250,000 through "Pictures of Garbage" portraits at auctions in London and art exhibitions in Brazil.
