Enclosing open-air dumps and outlawing waste picking are key approaches to modernizing cities around the world. 'The Waste Commons' explores the dramatic transformations involved in the impending upgrade of the city waste dump in Dakar, Senegal, and the lives that hang in the balance. It follows charismatic Zidane, trailblazing Adja, and their waste picker community, as they battle to defend their carefully crafted worlds and rights to waste.
