MARINA OF THE ZABBALEEN
A film by Engi Wassef

Marína of the Zabbaleen is a cinematic documentary that explores the world of seven-year-old Marína in the Muqqattam garbage recycling village in Cairo, Egypt. An impressionistic portrait of childhood and family, the film
also tells the story of the resourceful Zabbaleen, a Coptic Christian community of recyclers whose entrepreneurial waste management system produces the highest recycling rate in the world. No people has felt the
ramifications of the Swine Influenza pandemic more acutely than the Zabbaleen, whose way of life was devastated by the government-ordered eradication of the country¹s pig population earlier this spring.
