Trash!: On Ragpicker Children and Recycling

Trash! is a unique combination of fiction and fact. Based on the real-life experiences of street children in Chennai, it tells the story of Velu, a runaway village child. He ends up as a ragpicker in a big city and must face the harsh realities of life on the streets. The story is accompanied by facts and arguments that connect complex issues — ranging from child labor and child rights, to lifestyles, waste and recycling.
