      abstract = {Brooklyn based artist Vik Muniz grew up poor in Brazil.  This film follows him as he returns to Rio de Janeiro,  specifically to Jardim Gramacho, or "Garbage Garden." The  world's largest landfill, it receives 7,000 tons daily, an  astonishing 70% of all Rio's garbage. "We are not pickers  of garbage; we are pickers of recyclable materials," says  Tião, a catadore, or trash picker who thinks of himself and  his fellows as environmentalists. The pickers have a union,  which has built a recycling center, medical clinic, day  care and skills-training centers, and community lending  library of discarded books for their members. Muniz  photographs a number of the pickers, reworks the  photographs with garbage, and auctions several in London.  Believing in the transformative power of art, Muniz donates  the proceeds to the pickers who posed, in recognition of  their lives, in honor of the dignity of their work.},
