Documentaries without documents? Ecocinema and the toxic

Author(s): Schoonover, Karl
Abstract

A recent wave of ecological documentaries made in the United States and Europe appear to confer with this sense that waste is something to which we are blind. These documentaries forecast an impending environmental catastrophe of trash, a future global disaster with its roots in humanity’s current unwillingness to acknowledge waste as a problem.
