The Oscar-nominated documentary 'Garbage Dreams' is a film that sees global issues at an absolutely grassroots level. It shows how international companies and the desire for modernization lead to the marginalization of the poor and the inconvenience of the general population. But it focuses on Adham, 17, Nabil, 18, and Osama, 16, three Zabbaleen youths, and Leila, a social worker and teacher of the community's new recycling school. The film is "about" the "Zabbaleen," the "poorest of the poor" whose community collected and recycled trash in the city of Cairo for many generations.
