LANDFILL HARMONIC
Synopsis
The Recycled Orchestra is an unlikely orchestra made out of recycled trash. As this group takes its inspiring Orchestra around the world, we follow the lives of a garbage picker, a music teacher and a group of children from a Paraguayan slum. Landfill Harmonic is a beautiful story about the transformative power of music, which also highlights two vital issues of our times: poverty and waste pollution. |
Objective
Favio Chávez got to know the kids and families of this community, where more than 40% of children don’t finish school because they have to work. Being an environmental engineer with a musical background, he decided to help the children by teaching them music lessons with the initial idea to keep the kids from playing in the landfill. This mission led to the creation of the Recycled Orchestra, inspiring children to play music and to shed light on poverty and waste solutions.
