| Summary |
"DOGTOWN REDEMPTION is the intimate story of recyclers in West Oakland--a journey through a landscape of love and loss, devotion and addiction, prejudice and poverty. A surprising number of Americans make their living off America's vast rivers of trash. They are America's unseen. Dismissed as scavengers and pests, these "pirates of trash" come to life in DOGTOWN REDEMPTION, the story of an underclass of shopping cart recyclers, poor entrepreneurs who defy Darwin every day, cheating death and despair by seeking redemption in trash. Shot over seven years, DOGTOWN REDEMPTION follows the lives, dreams and demons of Jason Witt, the titan of recycling, Landon Goodwin, a former minister, and Hayok Kay, once the drummer of the rock band Polkacide. Through them we venture into Alliance Metals, a recycling center in the frontlines of battles over the boundaries of space, race and class in an American city." --Container |
