More is more
This is the story of Sajida Khan, a South African woman with a
hazardous dumpsite on her doorstep. Her neighbours are dying one by
one, while the dump leaks gases and toxins into her air, water and
earth. Meanwhile, the World Bank calls the dump a " world class example
of an environmental project. " How can this be? This dramatic gap
between the local community and the World Bank is because of the new
Carbon Emissions Trading scheme in the Kyoto Protocol. Filmed during
the UN World Summit on Sustainable Devlopment in Johannesburg 2002, and
features protests by collalitions of local and international groups.
