Trashed | 2012
Trashed – No Place For Waste looks at the risks to the food chain and the environment through pollution of our air, land and sea by waste.

Visually and emotionally the film is both horrific and beautiful: an interplay of human interest and political wake-up call. But it ends on a message of hope: showing how the risks to our survival can easily be averted through sustainable approaches that provide far more employment than the current ‘waste industry.’
