Landfill Harmonic, Cateura, Paraguay

 
Cateura, Paraguay is a town essentially built on top of a landfill.  When orchestra director Szaran and music teacher Favio set up a music program for the kids of Cateura, they soon had more students than they had instruments. That changed when Szaran and Favio were brought something they had never seen before: a violin made out of garbage. Today, there's an entire orchestra of assembled instruments, now called The Recycled Orchestra.  The film Landfill Harmonic is directed by Juliana Penaranda-Loftus and Alejandra Nash.
