Landfill Harvest

About This Movie

Landfill Harvest, directed by Steve Ramsden, is this raw dive into the lives of families living in the Mandaue Landfill in the Philippines. It's a mix of documentary and drama, really capturing the grit and resilience of people who, despite their dire situation, find ways to carve out a semblance of life. The pacing is steady, allowing viewers to absorb the harsh realities but also the flickers of hope that shine through. The performances feel real, almost like you're an unseen observer rather than a viewer. The film doesn’t shy away from the messiness of existence, and that authenticity is what makes it stand out—an unpolished reflection of humanity’s resourcefulness amidst despair.
