A TRASH LIFE. Documentary /  approx. 45 minutes
Have you ever asked yourself what happens to your trash once you’ve put it away? Do you think about where this trash ends up? Do you know people that live with and from your trash? This topic is down and dirty but it’s even more surprising to see how much money can be made from it, how much social value is attached to it – and how trash makes us human again.
