Why Now?

The world is in a time of unprecedented wealth, yet thousands of children live among our waste. This issue is invisible to most, but it is urgent. With growing environmental crises and deepening inequalities, the time to act is now.
This film will ignite a global conversation and a movement.

The wealthiest 1% of the global population control nearly half of the world’s wealth, with their combined net worth exceeding $250 trillion. Relocating all families with children living in landfills worldwide, estimated to be hundreds of thousands of people, would require a fraction of this wealth. A comprehensive relocation plan, including purchasing safe land, building sustainable villages, transportation, new clothing, furniture, healthcare, food security, and a fully equipped school per village, could conservatively cost $5 to $10 billion globally. This estimate would cover the creation of entire self-sufficient communities with proper infrastructure and ongoing support. For perspective, this amount represents less than 0.005% of the wealth held by the top 1%, highlighting that solving this humanitarian crisis is financially achievable with a minimal redistribution of resources.
