Synopsis

A film about inspiring dreams one note at a time! A heartfelt and moving story of how musical instruments made from trash bring hope and dignity to children whose future is otherwise spiritless.

A film about “The Recycled Orchestra”, a group of children from a Paraguayan slum who play instruments made entirely of garbage. It is a beautiful story about the transformative power of music, which also highlights two vital issues of our times: poverty and waste pollution. The world generates about a billion tons of garbage a year. Those who live with it and from it are the poor – like the people of Cateura, Paraguay. And here they are transforming it into beauty. Landfill

Harmonic follows the orchestra as it takes its inspiring spectacle of trash-into-music around the world.
