Landfill Harmonic, a documentary feature currently in production, reveals a mind-boggling, inventive effort give children hope – with musical instruments made from trash. In the barrios of Paraguay, a humble garbage picker uses his ingenuity to craft instruments out of recycled materials, and a youth orchestra is born. Music arises and children find new dreams.
The filmmakers have launched a Kickstarter campaign to complete filming; if the campaign goes over its goal, they’ll be able to spread the project’s message broadly. At minimum, they need to raise $175,000 by May 15, 2013.
