Still a Black Star

synopsis

This feature documentary from multi-Emmy Award winning Konwiser Brothers captures a remarkable chapter in the rise of an artist changing the world by starting in its most forgotten corner. Contemporary artist Mago Nagasaka traces the flow of waste & recycling from the world's wealthiest nations to its final graveyard, a vast scrapyard and e-waste dump in Ghana, Africa notorious for being one of the most toxic places on earth. Embedding in the slum known locally as Agbogbloshie, Mago reverses the polarity between the third world and first through a powerful artistic expression that begins to create a new sustainable economy in Agbogbloshie and inspire people all across the world to get involved in being the solution to the global e-waste crisis.
