What happens in the world's largest trash city will transform you. Filmed over three years, Waste Land is the Academy Award-nominated documentary that follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world's largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. There he photographs an eclectic band of 'catadores' - self-designated pickers of recyclable materials.

Concrete Playground is teaming up with Jameson and Hopscotch Films to present A Movie Night this Wednesday, November 30 at Cinema Paris, Fox Studios (where the film will be screening exclusively from December 1). At 6pm, we will be serving up some tasty cocktails prior to a special advanced screening of Waste Land at 7pm.
