As more and more of us use and replace electronic devices, manufacturers have failed to offer solutions for how to deal with the resulting waste. Much of it is exported to a toxic dump in Ghana, where scavengers do their best to salvage what they can.
A haunting, heartbreaking film of Ghanaian's lives among an e-waste dump. Their reality was told by the people themselves, who spoke in detail, truth and passion. The skill, resilience and culture of them has left me speechless. The footage was let to speak for itself, and it was put together to show what the truth is, instead of a forced narrative.
An impactful documentary that covers one of the many, very unfortunate, final stops for e-waste. Ghanaians are demanding for their government to do more, but the importance of this film's message should reach everyone's consciousness.
