The Harsh Reality: 'Pagpag' - Food From Garbage in the Philippines
•Robloak
An on-the-ground look at 'pagpag' - food salvaged and recooked from garbage - and the extreme poverty in parts of Manila that makes it a source of daily meals.
Background & Perspective
Handle with care: this is poverty exposed at its starkest, and the film's gaze can tip into spectacle. Included for the reality it documents, not as an easy or comfortable watch.
