 Ahmed, Halid and Ismaeel, immigrants from the Northern Region (Ghana) belonging to the Dagombe minority tribe, live and work in Agbogbloshie (Ghana), final destination of useless electronic devices from developed countries and one of the most polluted places on Earth. Most of its 20,000 inhabitants make a living out of dismantling and burning these devices, exposing themselves to highly toxic materials day after day. In a time where computers, tablets, mobile devices, etc., are becoming obsolete and disposed of at an incredibly fast pace, this documentary serves as a reflection about the consequences of the consumerism of the industrialized nations through a intimate portrait of the lives of the individuals of a community in the third world.
