Scrap

Synopsis

Discover the vast and strangely beautiful places where things go to die and meet the people who collect, restore, and recycle the world's scrap. Scrap scratches beneath flaking paint and rusting metal to reveal the beauty and pathos in the ugliness we leave behind. Scrap is a love letter to the things we use in our daily lives. This cinematic documentary tells the stories of people who each have a connection to objects that have reached their 'end of life'. Together their stories convey a deeper environmental and human message about our relationship to things, the sadness we feel at their eventual loss, and the joy of their rebirth.
