Guatemala: Recycled Life, film on dump residents

I haven't seen this documentary by director Leslie Iwerks yet (narrated by Edward James Olmos), but it looks incredible. My adoptive father took me to this place once in the late 1980s to visit the home of an elderly Mayan woman (one of many thousands of displaced people who lost their homes during Guatemala's internal armed conflict). Her home consisted of plastic bag strips and carboard boxes, and she subsisted here, like others, by scavenging the dump. Snip from film synopsis:

For over sixty years, children have been born and raised here, parents and grandparents eat and survive here… Thousands of families have thrived in the largest and most toxic and dangerous area in all of Central America. For decades, the Guatemala City Garbage Dump and its inhabitants ("guajeros") who recycle the city's trash have been shunned by society and ignored by the government, until a disastrous event in January 2005 forever changed the face of this landfill and the many people who call it home.

And here's an organization that works with children from the dump: Link to safepassage.org. (Thanks, Anonymous)

UPDATE: I swapped emails with the film's director, Leslie Iwerks, and she tells us,

The film has been selected as a semi-finalist on the short list for the Academy Awards. We took almost ten trips to the Guatemala City dump and photographed the lives of the people living there, and the changing events that took place over the time we visited, including the fire in 2005. Edward James Olmos narrates the film, and it has won six top film festival awards since the middle part of this year.
