Synopsis:
Agbogbloshie, Accra is the largest electronic waste dump in the world. About 6,000 women, men and children live and work here. They call it "Sodom". Every year roughly 250,000 tons of computers, smartphones, air conditioning tanks and other devices from a faraway, electrified and digitalized world end up here, illegally. The interwoven destinies of the protagonists unravel in this complex story of an apocalyptic society. The trailer is available here.
