  • In the environmentally conscious, wealthy city of San Francisco, some of its poorest residents spend their nights collecting empty beer bottles and soda cans in exchange for nickels at Our Planet Recycling Center. Some say it’s a win-win—less trash on the street and cash for the poor—but there’s more to the story. This emotionally charged mini documentary analyzes how the success of one environmental law reflects San Francisco’s deep wealth inequality.

  • All people are the same because we are all different. The unique creativeness harnessed from all people is what moves our world forward. We break all norms with our innovation. That is what creativity means to me.
