Synopsis
Filmed over nearly three years, WASTE LAND follows
renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home
base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world's largest
garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts
of Rio de Janeiro. There he photographs an eclectic band
of “catadores” — self-designated pickers of recyclable
materiais. Muniz’s initial objective was to “paint” the
catadores with garbage. However, his collaboration with
these inspiring characters as they recreate photographic
images of themselves out of garbage reveals both the
dignity and despair of the catadores as they begin to
re-imagine their lives. Director Lucy Walker (DEVIL'S
PLAYGROUND, BLINDSIGHT and COUNTDOWN TO
ZERO) and co-directors João Jardim and Karen Harley
have great access to the entire process and, in the end,
offer stirring evidence of the transformative power of art
and the alchemy of the human spirit.
