Description by OLDIES.com:

The world generates about a billion tons of garbage a year. Those who live with -- and from -- it are the poor, like the people of Cateura, Paraguay, who are transforming trash into beauty. This documentary follows the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura as it takes its inspiring spectacle of trash-into-music around the world. Follow the lives of a garbage picker, a music teacher and a group of children from a Paraguayan slum who, out of necessity, created their instruments entirely out of garbage.
