    This documentary addressing equity, waste, and the state of the environment introduces us to Yi Jie, a young girl who, along with her family, has moved to a plastic-sorting town in China. The family lives among the plastic they sort for work -- recycled waste from Europe, the United States, and other parts of Asia. Yi Jie is unable to attend school, so she spends her days caring for her siblings, sorting plastic, and searching for hidden treasures amongst the trash. Her parents discuss their hopes for the future, but family problems seem to stand in the way of their goals.

    Directed byJiuliang Wang
