Once upon a time there was a city that was neat and tidy, and which was home to only 12 million people. Today, however, Cairo has a population estimated at 20 million. Garbage is piling up in the streets and the piles are growing. Everyone in Cairo has his or her views on garbage but nobody knows what to do about it. Italian garbage disposal operators are brought in to tackle the city’s waste problems and to teach the city dwellers rational garbage habits. “Cairo Garbage” is a portrait of the city community seen through its garbage.
Born in 1973 in Denmark, she graduated in documentary direction from the National Film School of Denmark in 2001. She worked for several years in radio before making her directorial debut in 1992 with “Epilog”/”Epilogue” (co-directed with Sara Bro) and has since worked with personal, investigative and experimental documentaries.
