A poetic journey through the world’s forgotten scrapyards, Scrap uncovers beauty in decay and the human desire to give discarded things new life.
Scrap transforms rust and ruin into revelation. From airplane graveyards to derelict factories, this visually stunning documentary explores the afterlives of the objects we abandon and the people who restore them. Through art, craft, and care, these salvagers turn waste into wonder, reminding us that everything and everyone deserves a second life.
Rialto Recommends: Scrap. A meditation on beauty, memory, and renewal, Scrap finds poetry in the overlooked and purpose in what we leave behind. It’s a deeply human reflection on consumption, creativity, and care for a world built and rebuilt by our own hands.
