About this product
Product Information
Muniz is an artist who literally creates treasure out of trash; using cast-offs he finds at garbage dumps, Muniz fashions re-creations of famous paintings, and he made an evocative series of images of children who work in sugar plantations using the leftovers from the refining process. So when filmmaker Lucy Walker asked Muniz if she could make a film about him as he worked on his next project, the two settled on what seemed like the perfect location - Jardim Gramacho, a Brazilian landfill not far from Rio de Janeiro that's said to be the largest refuse dump in the world. Walker's documentary Waste Land explores Muniz's creative process as he fashions new works from what others have left behind, but it also profiles the people who live near Jardim Gramacho and make their living by sorting what's useful from what is not. Walker lends a dignity to these so-called 'trash pickers' as they reveal how much of value can be found in other people's refuse and how they maintain their pride and self-respect despite their sometimes meagre circumstances.Product Identifiers

Artist makes a difference
This is a thoroughly engaging documentary of how an artist, Vik Muniz, collaborates with poor Brazilians who work on the world's largest garbage dump, or as we would say in English, rubbish tip, to make art and find a new meaning in their lives. The characters working in such appalling conditions are truly remarkable and the transformative power of art is very inspiring. This is very moving and a remarkable film.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Simply The Best
From humble junk sorters on the world's largest tip, outside Rio de Janeiro, by way of an inspirational artist, some of the protagonists become international celebrities. A deeply moving Documentary which has been a prize winner, and highly praised by everyone I've shared it with.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
