WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In a Brazilian city, teenagers Raphael (Tevez), Gardo (Luis) and Rato (Weinstein) spend their days picking through litter with the hope of finding something useful within it. When they find a wallet with some damning contents inside of it, they find themselves being targeted by the local police force as they become unlikely whistleblowers in a corrupt city…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Trash is the uplifting and triumphant tale of friendship, the overcoming of corruption and force, and standing up for what people perceive to be the right thing.
