Landfill Harmonic (Blu-ray)

The world generates about a billion tons of garbage a year. Those who live with--and from--it are the poor, like the people of Cateura, Paraguay, who are transforming trash into beauty. This documentary follows the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura as it takes its inspiring spectacle of trash-into-music around the world. Follow the lives of a garbage picker, a music teacher and a group of children from a Paraguayan slum who, out of necessity, created their instruments entirely out of garbage. This film is a beautiful story about the transformative power of music, which also highlights two vital issues of our times: poverty and waste pollution. This Blu-ray features surround sound, the official "Landfill Harmonic" trailer and extras: "From Cateura to Oslo: Like Taking a Rocket to the Moon," "From the Landfill to Congress: Paraguayan Congress Honors Favio Chavez with National Award", and "A Legacy Secured: The Recycled Orchestra on Display at the Musical Instrument Museum," along with Englis
