Thousand and One Nights
This Film is Garbage! Is the future greener--or bleaker--than before? Andrew Nisker is determined to find out. In this film, he challenges the Masons, a typical Canadian family of four living in the suburbs to keep their trash for three months. Andrew compares this family's trash to a couple living in a condo in the heart of downtown Toronto - his sister-in-law Alexandra and her fiancé Aizaz. Garbage has a way of making people unhappy, which is one of the reasons it's dumped out of sight--in lakes and rivers and overseas. Nisker investigates the story of Canada's garbage and considering this country produces more of it than any other country in the world, it's a big story. He speaks with a variety of experts to see if progress has been made. Traveling across Canada, he turns up little known and innovative solutions to our garbage crisis. From the textile industry, to food waste, to packaging and plumbing, disruptors are at work in the fight against garbage. The statistics are dire but Nisker finds ingenuity, hope and even humour in the darkness.
