Reviewed by Dan Snierson of Entertainment Weekly in
November 2007, Recycled Life received an A- rating and the following
commentary: “Warning: By watching this Oscar-nominated Edward James
Olmos-narrated documentary, you hereby forfeit the right to ever complain about
your life again. In return, you will see an intriguing yet heartbreaking
portrait of a Guatemala City dump that generations of trash salvagers have
called home; they sift through mounds of toxic refuse, vultures circling
overhead. While the members of this microsociety are trapped in a cycle of
poverty, many buoy themselves with pride, determination, and even a little
humor.”
The tribute film A Safe Passage: A Tribute to Hanley
Denning, was created by Recycled Life producer Mike Glad and
director Leslie Iwerks immediately following the accident that claimed Hanley’s
life in January using hours of footage they had taken while filming the
documentary.
Come join us to be inspired, to learn more, and to support the work of Safe Passage. We hope to see you there!
