On Sunday 29 June at 12:30PM, the Reel McCoy Film Group is showing the 2010 UK/Brazilian documentary “Waste Land” which follows Brazilian artist Vik Muniz’s attempts to artistically engage a handful of trash pickers. The impoverished “catadores” are among the thousands working in the world’s largest landfill mountain in Rio de Janeiro. They’re initially bemused by the eccentric, enthusiastic Muniz, but the beauty he helps generate from their garbage opens doors into their world, with all its intended, and some unintended, consequences.
