THE BURNING FIELD
JUSTIN WEINRICH | 2019 | USA | 72'
Winner of the Cinemambiente festival in Turin ( Asja.energy award for best international documentary), this engaging documentary shows us a day at Agbogbloshie. Tons of electronic waste from the United States, China and Europe arrive every year in this suburb of the Ghanaian capital Accra. The point of view is that of four young people who show how people live, work and dream around the largest landfill of electronic waste on earth. A reflection on the human and environmental price these young people and their land are paying for.
