Artist film: Wasteland

Watched one of the most amazing artist films I've seen to date Wasteland is about Brazilian artist Vik Muniz who is based in Brooklyn, and was filmed are three years. in collaboration with the people who worked as garbage pickers, at the worlds largest rubbish dump, they recreates photographic images of themselves out of the rubbish. this is an incredibly moving and powerful film about a group of proud and dignified people who are seen as the lowest of the low by there own country. Muniz gives them the chance to  show the world that they are not only an incredible intelligent and proud group of people but evidence of the true power of the human spirit.

"Director Lucy Walker has great access to the entire process and, in the end,offers stirring evidence of the trans-formative power of art and the alchemy of the human spirit."

I highly recommend this film and borrowed it  from Anna so i could watch it again.
