Wasted

Wasted prompts us to re-examine who we are and our values — to re-think our relationship with the world around us. We cannot continue to extract and exploit our ecosystems at unprecedented rates, and continue down the path of wasting our precious natural resources. We want to inspire action across business, policy and individuals to clean up our communities, cities and natural habitats and create healthy, thriving economies. In a stunning visual exploration, the film interweaves imagery from across Asia, traversing India, Singapore, South Korea and Vietnam, from landfills to archival, cinematic aerials to macro intimate portraits. We hear from industry experts, policymakers, scientists, activists, community leaders and those affected by the impact of ineffective waste management systems. They shed new light on how our worldview and approach to waste profoundly affects life on our planet.
