Payatas a Mirror of Poverty-Trailer

The Payatas dump site tragedy in the Philippines, happened on July 10, 2000. At 8:05am a massive 50ft wall of solid waste slides down and buries hundreds of shanties, and an undetermined number of people. Bulldozers excavated the site while residents dug with their bare hands and whatever tools they could find to try to rescue victims. This is the story of what happened that day, and about the people who live and work sorting out the trash. Featuring new music by Steve Willoughby. Nominated for best documentary IFCT film festival Toronto, 2002. Full DVD available at www.miragepro.net/On%20Going%20projects.htm and Amazon
