GARBAGE DREAMS


Welcome to the world’s largest garbage village located on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. The Zabbaleen (Arabic for garbage people) recycle 80 percent of the trash they collect—far more than other recycling initiatives. But now multi-national corporations threaten their livelihood. Follow three teenage boys born into the business who are forced to make choices that will impact the survival of their community.
