Toxic Earth | TRAILER
Location: Europe, Africa
Some call it hell – others claim it to be the most poisonous spot on our planet: The African town Agbogbloshie has been built on highly toxic waste that has its origin in the US and Europe. The documentary reveals the garbage mafia behind it. And it shows how normal citizens of the US and Europe become involved without their knowledge
It’s the story of the daily struggle for the survival of many child laborers in one of the most polluted places on our planet. The documentary shows how African environmental activists are fighting against a system that has its origins in Europe and the United States. Because behind the toxic waste that is delivered daily to Agbobloshie, there is a well-organized garbage mafia that acts without regard for losses. The documentary unmasks the backers and follows the toxic scrap on its way across the smuggling roads from Europe to Africa.
It is also a story of hope in a place where there is no hope and a tribute to some of the most extraordinary people who live there – in Agbogbloshie.
