LONG-02. Landfill Harmonic

USA, Paraguay, Feature Documentary

Kids living in a vast slum built on a landfill in Paraguay create an orchestra. Their music teacher trains a local handyman to build tunable instruments out of trash?a one-gallon syrup can becomes a violin and a five-gallon can becomes a viola?and after months of training, they develop a remarkably professional sound. Then, improbably, they are invited to go on tour with heavy-metal band Megadeth. But their homes in Cateura, Paraguay are suddenly devastated by floods. Will they be able to rebuild?

Directed by Brad Allgood and Graham Townsley
