La Chureca in Nicaragua is one of the Western worlds biggest open garbage dumps. Even the briefest visit is a considerable challenge. Nevertheless it is home to far over a thousand people. Most deaths on the dump are due to a lung disease, that is known there as ‘lead’. For children growing up around La Chureca, it’s the standard course of events.
Marten Persiel and Xabier Garay’s Chureca project is a documentary film as well as an active participation in one of Spains most ambitious foreign aid projects to date: the complete clean-up of La Chureca, the construction of recycling facilities and an entire village, including a school, a hospital and community service projects. One of these projects is a skate park, which aims at getting Chureca kids in touch with other young people, whose world doesn’t consist of nothing but trash.

Using smuggled footage, this documentary tells the story of the 2007 protests in Burma by thousands of monks.

I don’t like the fact that this is another marketing project but the trailer to Spike Jonze’s new 35 minute short film debuting at the Sundance film festival looks very promising.
