“Garbage Dreams” follows three teenage boys born into the trash trade and growing up in the world’s largest garbage village, on the outskirts of Cairo. It is home to 60,000 Zabbaleen (Arabic for “garbage people”). Far ahead of any modern “Green” initiatives, the Zabbaleen survive by recycling 80% of the garbage they collect. Face to face with the globalization of their trade, each of the teenage boys is forced to make choices that will impact his future and the survival of his community.
