NaFF09 - Garbage Dreams

Mai Iskander and Tiffany Schauer talk with NaFF TV about their film Garbage Dreams

Garbage Dreams follows three teenage boys born into the trash trade and growing up in the world’s largest garbage village, on the outskirts of Cairo. It is the home to 60,000 Zaballeen, Arabic for “garbage people.” Far ahead of any modern “Green” initiatives, the Zaballeen survive by recycling 80 percent of the garbage they collect. When their community is suddenly faced with the globalization of its trade, each of the teenage boys is forced to make choices that will impact his future and the survival of his community. Garbage Dreams is nominated for the Al Gore Reel Current Award and received the Media that Matters Sustainability Award.
