Mountain of Trash
2021
Synopsis:

A constantly expanding dumpsite in Chonburi, Thailand has grown as tall as a mountain. Composed of over 3 million tons of waste, its notorious stench stretches across several kilometers. While Chonburi was positioned as a central base to drive the Thai economy, its development brings an environmental catastrophe in its wake.
