Synopsis:
For over sixty years, children have been born and raised here, parents and grandparents eat and survive here. Thousands of people have thrived in the largest and most toxic and dangerous area in all of Central America. For decades, the Guatemala City Garbage Dump and its inhabitants who recycle the city's trash have been shun by society and ignored by the government. But a disastrous methane explosion in January 2005 forever changed the face of this landfill and the dignified people who call it home. Director's Bio:
A graduate of the USC Cinema school, Leslie has assisted several top film directors such as Tom Shadyac and Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright Michael Cristofer on numerous feature films for Disney, Universal, and HBO including Liar, Liar, The Nutty Professor, Gia and Mighty Ducks 2. |
