Where do the things we make go when we’re done with them? It’s a question that we too often don’t ask ourselves, along with what the long-term effects are of what we do with our old stuff. Scrap doesn’t have any easy answers, but the new film from director Stacey Tenenbaum does offer a fascinating glimpse at a part of our modern world that we prefer not to think about.
Presented more as a series of thematically connected vignettes than one narrative, Scrap takes you on a journey around the globe from a forest full of cars in the United States to a shipyard in Spain, carefully dismantling a ship, so its pieces can be used to build a church, to a family living in an aeroplane graveyard in Southeast Asia, and more.
