The Sundance Channel launched a website in observance of 6 years of war in Iraq. It has tons of clips from Hometown Baghdad and Heavy Metal in Baghdad— two documentaries that will premiere on TV tonight.
“Mentally F’d Up” from the Sundance Channel. Today is the sixth anniversary of the Iraq War’s start.

Poor babies :(
I visited La Chureca in Managua, Nicaragua. Like this, a huge dump where thousands of people make their homes out of trash. I am still trying to reconcile my own life with what I experienced there.

The Charcoal Children of Manila - i’ve been to a similar one of these dump villages on the outskirts of manila. payatas, specifically. there are five of these dumps among which the refuse of over 14 million people is disposed of. imagine, square miles of land covered in mountains of garbage. people looking for food, recyclables, wood, & other material amongst the bulldozers & dumptrucks because that’s where the new goods wer & the rest of the hills were all picked over. the group of us stayed in one of the villages where these people live - literally - on top of the garbage. their houses are made of trash. their clothes are trash.
think about how what we wear, where we work, what we do, where we live affects our personal identity. it says a lot, right? their entire lives are trash.
it was perhaps the most sobering experience of my life.
i chose this picture because it’s the only one in which the child is smiling. to think that this little gril can find joy in an old chair in a dump on her birthday is almost more humbling than i can stand.
