This film follows him as he returns to Rio de Janeiro, specifically to Jardim Gramacho, or "Garbage Garden." The world's largest landfill, it receives 7,000 tons daily, an astonishing 70% of all Rio's garbage. "We are not pickers of garbage; we are pickers of recyclable materials," says Tião, a catadore, or trash picker who thinks of himself and his fellows as environmentalists. The pickers have a union, which has built a recycling center, medical clinic, day care and skills-training centers, and community lending library of discarded books for their members. Muniz photographs a number of the pickers, reworks the photographs with garbage, and auctions several in London. Believing in the transformative power of art, Muniz donates the proceeds to the pickers who posed, in recognition of their lives, in honor of the dignity of their work.DVD; Dolby Digital 5.1; Dolby Digital stereo.2010 Sundance Audience Award World Cinema Documentary; 2011 Academy Award Nomination for Best Documentary Feature.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Feature films.; Nonfiction films.; Documentary films.; Feature films.; Feature films; Nonfiction films.; Muniz, Vik.; Art, Modern; Found objects (Art); Group work in art.; Poor; Ragpickers; Refuse and refuse disposal in art; Sanitary landfills; Trash art.; Waste disposal sites;
