YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Brazil's largest landfill closed this month leaving thousands of scavengers, and the 35,000 people living nearby, fearing more poverty and an increase in crime while the economy struggles to provide jobs. We followed Sandra Montes and her husband Emerson Oliveira de Souza as they trawled through tons of waste just days before the site closed.
