Focus Years: 2010 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
The Tijuana Project is a documentary film about the people who pick through the trash at the Tijuana garbage dump for survival and the lives of six children who live next to this immense mountain for trash. The stories that the children bring to light cover a range of pressing global themes such as garbage management, recycling, health issues, drug abuse, education, and family. This film is about creating vibrant, healthy bridges across borders in a community that was described by Mother Teresa as one of the world's most destitute. It depicts a poverty-stricken neighborhood just miles from the U.S. border that hangs beneath a virtual cloud of seagulls, scavenging alongside the workers.
Ultimately, it tells the story of the heart, hope, and humanity that somehow survive under heart-wrenching conditions. The revolutionary acts of those building long-term solutions, such as the hope of a school in the dump, has created an air of opportunity that is most effectively seen in this documentary in the enthusiasm of the children who live there.
