A terrific documentary - and i am very fussy about my movies :-) I highly recommend it; it is an extremely heartwarming look at 'fringe folk' who make the most with what they have - joyfully. We owe it to them to watch; imho, the west is directly responsible for much of the misery our fellow humans endure.

I don't want to spoil the story but every American who thinks they're struggling and having a hard time with finances (and many are no doubt), should watch this. In fact, every American period, should watch it. Sometimes we are blind to how people in other parts of the world live, and the sacrifices they have to make just to get a bit of food and shelter and water every day. This is no "save the children" type movie where you see people starving in a desert or jungle. This is people on the fringes of a growing society (and growing wealth disparity, just as it's happened in every western country), letting you into their lives, showing you how incredibly lucky you and I are... and maybe getting us in touch with our humanity, our God (if you're religious), and our world a little bit more than before we watched. It's hard to forget once you see it.
With the World Cup coming up in Brazil, I can't think of a better time for people to watch this and think about what it means to be a "global citizen". We hear all this lip-service from media about "global economy" and "global social media" and "connecting worldwide" to anyone we want... well if that's true, then my hope is the things you see in this movie won't be a reality anymore in 10 years. Do we have the courage of our convictions? I don't know. All I know is it can only help for us to see this movie and think about the big picture after we see it, and what we can do with all of our resources and technology (and hopefully humanity).

I detest review hyperbole--people who gush and fawn over every film they see. It's not my style, and yet "Waste Land" might yet make a liar out of me. Lucy Walker's documentary about turning refuse into art held only a marginal interest for me initially, but I figured it would be like educational medicine. I was, however, instantly engaged in the most unexpected ways. Is the film about art, about class struggle, about recycling, about the human spirit? Yes to all. This multi-layered documentary is one of the most moving and entertaining films I've seen in quite some time. Trust me, its impact took me completely by surprise. I laughed and I cried as "Waste Land" is infused with both sadness and hope in equal proportion. Really a testament to perseverance, survival, and allowing yourself to dream--this heartfelt examination stands as one of my two favorite documentaries of 2010 and gets my highest recommendation.
Contemporary artist Vik Muniz is the featured lead in the film. Expanding his portfolio of intriguing art made from non-conventional material, Muniz embarks on a massive project in his native country Brazil. Going to Rio de Janeiro's largest garbage dump, he wants to utilize the natural resources there to make portraits of individual workers. A huge collaborative undertaking (the film spans almost three years), he gets the cooperation of the local union and enlists a select team of assistants for the project. He oversees the art, but the locals are its stars as well as the ones who assemble the actual final product. In doing so, they start to envision a world outside the daily confines of the dump. Walker begins with Muniz as the centerpiece for the story, but the movie evolves into a real character piece about those locals enlisted in the project.Read more ›

This is an amazing documentary. It follows an artist through a service-oriented art experience. The videography is well done. The people are engaging. The interviews go a little long, in my opinion. If you do an online search, you can find some classroom activities geared to high school, but adaptable to middle school or college students.
