No rastro das cargueiras

Directed by Carol Matias

bibi crosses the city balancing piles of metal and plastic on top of his load. these cargo bikes adapted by him and other scavengers from ceará turn brasília’s “rich garbage” into an opportunity for popular, autonomous and clean recycling, trying to pave the way for a better life in the brazilian capital. “no rastro das cargueiras” presents the techniques, landscapes and stories of a group of waste pickers-cyclists in the counterflow of urban consumption and in the struggle for the right to the city.
