Description

Join The Recyclery Collective in watching SCRAPPERS, an award-wining documentary film about a topic close to our hearts. A Q&A with the filmmakers will follow.

Set in Chicago’s labyrinth of alleys, SCRAPPERS is a vérité portrait of Oscar and Otis, two metal scavengers who search for a living with brains, brawn and battered pickup trucks. The 2008 financial collapse and crackdowns on undocumented immigrants jeopardize their means of providing for their families.

Winner of Best Documentary Feature and Audience Award at the 2010 Chicago Underground Film Festival.

“You want green, there ain’t nobody greener than Oscar and Otis.”
-Roger Ebert
