Recycling Colony
As the world pushes for sustainability, environmental inequality deepens. Plastic waste from developed countries forms towering trash mountains in Indonesia, affecting local communities and ecosystems. Companies buy carbon offsets rather than reducing emissions, forcing Indigenous people from their lands in the name of conservation. While carbon neutrality and recycling are widely promoted as solutions, the reality is more complex. Many sustainability efforts mask deeper contradictions, where environmental responsibility in one place leads to exploitation elsewhere. The film examines these hidden consequences, questioning who truly benefits from sustainability initiatives and who is left paying the price.
