Living on Landfill is an intimate look at one man's response to a growing global crisis - the mass migration of desperate people. On the eve of his retirement Fred Stockwell, a sixty-nine year old photographer from Ashland, Oregon in USA, sold up everything and dedicated his life to working with Burmese refugees who literally live on other people's garbage. Seven years on and Mae Sot rubbish dump is his home, the community his family. Fred's simple philosophy of 'it only takes one person to make a difference' underpins his relationship with the people of Mae Sot dump. From images of children digging through rotting garbage to stories of lives being saved this film takes the viewer into a world on the edge of survival.
