Recycled Life is a raw and gripping documentary that really pulls back the curtain on life in the Guatemala City Garbage Dump. The film captures the lives of families who have turned this toxic wasteland into their home, showing a stark contrast between resilience and despair. The pacing feels almost languid at times, allowing the viewer to soak in the harsh realities these people face daily. It’s not just about the landfill; it’s about the human spirit, survival, and the invisible connections that bind these communities. The emotional weight is palpable, especially when you see the children playing amidst the refuse. The directness of the footage, without gloss or pretense, makes it distinctive and haunting.
