Waste Not

About This Movie

Waste Not is a pretty engaging dive into the world of waste management, really. Directed by Ruth Hessey, it unfolds in a way that’s both informative and, oddly enough, kind of fascinating. There's this steady rhythm to the storytelling that keeps you hooked, as it explores the often-overlooked processes behind our rubbish. The film brings to light how much value we toss away; like, who knew there's more gold in e-waste than in actual mines? The interviews with the sorters add a personal touch, making it feel grounded. It’s not just about the stats or the scary numbers, but the real people behind the scenes. The pacing is just right, too—not rushed, which lets you really digest the themes of sustainability and resourcefulness.
