The award winning documentary "Garbage Dreams" by Mai Iskander about the zabaleen community in Manshiet Nasser has, deservedly, generated a lot of interest and gained international recognition. But what has attracted my attention is the continuing promotion that has followed its release, a phenomena that I had not witnessed yet, to this extent, in Egypt.
The movie has an excellent website, an online store where you can buy not only the DVD but cool t-shirts as well, and a facebook page where you can share your views, get infos about organizing screenings and keep up to date with the latest news about the movie (articles, participation in festivals, and so on).
If you haven't seen the movie or heard of it yet, you really have no excuses.
