Sat Late Aft JHN022 Session: 10th Annual Hazel Wolf Environmental Film Festival
FILMS:
Cartoneros (60 min)
Dirty Job (21 min)
Cartoneros (60 min, Argentina)
Exposes the way in which thousands of unemployed workers come daily into the city of Buenos Aires in order to sort and sell the garbage that neighbors leave behind every evening on their doorsteps. We see cartoneros that work independently as well as those who have created coops in order to protect themselves from abusive middle management. The documentary follows the trash through the whole process: from the neighborhoods sidewalk all the way to the paper mill. The film also offers a reflection on the relation between garbage and art. (Ernesto Livon-Grosman, 2006)
Dirty Job (21 min, India)
A film about the lowest caste women in India known as scavengers. Scavenging is a profession that consists in cleaning human excreta from dry toilets in private houses without modern toilet facilities. The Indian NGO Sulabh is doing extensive work to avoid this practice, placing toilets systems all over the country. Sulabh also trains the women in new skills so they may find other work. (Luciana Kaplan, 2006)
