Welcome to Sodom

Christian Krönes, Florian Weigensamer / Austria / 2018 / Czech Premiere / 90 min.


synopsis

They call it Sodom. A hell for people. A paradise for business. The world’s biggest dump of electronic waste is teeming with noises of people working. They rummage, collect, recover and burn down. An impressive apocalyptic tableau on meticulous work within a new economic segment. A disconcerting testimony on life conditions.
