Garbage Dreams Tonight on PBS

Apr 27, 2010 No Comments by
This is tonight on PBS: thanks to a GGP reader who kindly passed it on! I saw Garbage Dreams, a documentary at Turning the Tide, a great conference put on by the Institute at Golden Gate, the think tank for the National Parks Conservancy. It is about the Zabaleen people of Cairo, they collect and recycle the garbage of the city. It was directed by a young woman, Mia Iskander, in fact she did all the work, visiting her 3 subjects for several years, developing a bond with them.   It is quite a story.  It will air on Independent Lens on PBS - April 27, 10pm.  If you can catch this film, it is very well done and an eye-opener!
