ABOUT THE MOVIE
Landfill Harmonic is a documentary about the transformative power of music and the resilience of the human spirit told through the lives of a garbage picker, a music teacher and a group of children from a Paraguayan slum that out of necessity started creating instruments entirely out of garbage. The film follows the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, a Paraguayan musical youth group of kids that live next to one of South America’s largest landfills. When their story goes viral, the orchestra is catapulted into the global spotlight. With the guidance of their music director, they navigate this new world of arenas and sold out concerts. However, when a natural disaster devastates their community, the orchestra provides a source of hope for the town. Rated PG, in Spanish with English subtitles.
