    João Coelho, Angola

This man lives and works in a dump on the outskirts of a city in Angola, where he scavenges the waste every day searching for food scraps and materials that he can salvage and sell. How far will the human being go to survive? What extent of sacrifices will he accept to satisfy the hunger that burns in his stomach? What level of despair will he have to face to be forced to plunge into a world that we no longer recognize as human? What have we all done, or failed to do, for him to have arrived here, the end of the line from where there is no return?
