Review of Waste Land (2010) by Aleksandar A — 16 Jan 2014
Sad, emotional, inspirational, self effacing.
This documentary is a window on a world that all to often is forgotten in the consumer societies of the west.
Successful Brazilian artist gives something back to the slum dwellers who survive on the worlds largest rubbish dump.
His gift of compassion is a tearful reminder of how some of how fellow citizens suffer.
He leads them into his world of art as they continue to rummage through the rubbish gathering thought provoking portraits of their lives. His liberating art leads him to question the ethics of parading a life the slum dwellers can only dream of and how this will affect them psychologically as they remain trapped at the tip.
Great film. Sad. Thought provoking. Emotional.
