"One Man's Trash" is a new short documentary from New York based filmmaker, Kelly Adams. It follows the story of Nelson Molina, who has worked for the NYC Department of Sanitation for 34 years. Molina has a unique relationship to the objects that fill the garbage bags lining the streets. With a keen curatorial eye for finding treasure in household trash, he has created a collection of found objects in a sanitation garage in East Harlem, which he refers to as a museum of “Treasures in the Trash.” The film encourages us to rethink our relationship to the objects that we encounter every day, and to find meaning in the mundane.
