The third film in this series is Garbage Dreams by Mai Iskander. This film welcomes you to the world's largest garbage village located on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt.

Welcome to Versailles, New Orleans---home to the densest ethnic Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam. For over 30 years, its residents lived a quiet existence on the edge of New Orleans. But then Hurricane Katrina came with the immense garbage piles and the shocking discovery of a toxic landfill planned in their neighborhood. Watch as they fight back, turning a devastating disaster into a catalyst for change and a chance to build a better future.
These screenings are free and open to the public.
