Docu Bliss

Two fantastic documentaries I watched recently, uplifting, inspiring, hopeful.
Between the Folds is about the inner world of Origami - folding paper like you've never seen before.


Wasteland is about trash pickers in Brazil and the art they help create with visual artist Vik Muniz and use the funds raised to change their lot in life.
In the image below you see an adaptation of the famous Marat portrait made from recycled materials from the trash lands in Rio. It was sold in auction in London for $50,000 which went back to pickers.
