In Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, there is a huge dump full of pepenadores (recyclers) with an age that borders on slavery. Children who should be in school work there all day. Despite the efforts of the mayor's office, there is no order or security measures. The sun is scorching at 35 degrees, and the sweet smell is nauseating when it sticks in the throat. Honduras is the state with the fourth lowest human development index in the entire American continent.
The project traces the line of the thousands of families that survive in the dumps of Central America. Places under a personal attack of semi-slavery jobs where the labor exploitation of out-of-school children ceases to surprise accompanied by environmental and health crimes that are perpetrated in these waste territories.
Without social alarms or justice or politics that can control them, the dumps continue to grow and their workers continue to get sick and die.
