Landfill Harmonic
ILLUMINATE Launch Party and Outdoor Screening - FREE
Arizona Premiere

A worldwide sensation since its spotlight on 60 Minutes, Landfill Harmonic (South by Southwest 2015) is a heartfelt, moving tale of how instruments made from recycled trash bring hope to children whose futures are otherwise spiritless. This empowering film follows the lives of a garbage picker, a music teacher and a group of kids from a Paraguayan slum as their trash-into-music orchestra is catapulted into the global spotlight. Landfill Harmonic is a beautiful story about the transformative power of music that touches the heart while addressing two vital issues of our times: poverty and waste pollution.
