Scrap is our Future offers a raw glimpse into the lives of teenage waste collectors in NgaoundĂ©rĂ©, Cameroon. The film centers on DembĂ©lĂ©, a young orphan grappling with the weight of responsibility after losing his mother in 2015. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the grit and resilience of street life. Itâs not just a documentary about poverty; it touches on themes of survival, identity, and the harsh realities of youth. The atmosphere is heavy yet intimate, with a documentary style that feels both personal and observational. The performances by the young actors are strikingly authentic, adding a layer of emotional depth that lingers long after the credits roll. It's a thoughtful piece that challenges perceptions of waste and worth.
