Vultures, mountains of rubbish and smoking pit
Silhouettes of people shrouded in smoke from burning rubbish
Woman with plastic sacks and box seen through a hole in a wall
Young girl in dress eats food from the dump
Vultures and indigenous women and children in rubbish mounds
A young girl looks to eat some food on a rubbish dump
An indigenous woman sorts trash as her child looks on
Bulldozer moves mountain of rubbish as a masked man looks at us
Man with bandana loooks at the camera
