Film Chronicles Artist's Work From Rio Dump
In the documentary Waste Land, director Lucy Walker chronicles the creation of a work of art by Vik Muniz made with objects from a landfill in Rio de Janeiro. The garbage dump receives more tons of trash every day than any other dump in the world. It serves Rio de Janeiro and its closest suburb -- the richest and the poorest trash mixes in the same dump.
