Raw Material

The documentary’s theme is the financial activity behind the recycling of metal objects that are “disposed” by the average consumer of a large city, collected by fringe groups who unconsciously are the kingpin of a gigantic mechanism of wealth.

Through five ragmen, the documentary explores the backstage of consumerism and follows the invisible journey of metal that ends up as RAW MATERIAL.
