A documentary about children living in a slum built on landfill in Paraguay who learn to play instruments made from recycled rubbish and form an orchestra which tours the world.

Landfill Harmonic, rather aptly, will be shown in the Visitor Centre at the Veolia waste recycling depot in Devon Street and will be preceded by the chance to be in a live junk orchestra.

Screening on Thursday 10 September, 8pm, at 43 Devon Street (off Old Kent Road) London SE15 1AL (doors 7.30pm)

If you wish to take part in the live junk orchestra (see below), please arrive at 7pm.

This is the the London premiere of Landfill Harmonic: A symphony of the human spirit (Dir: Brad Allgood and Graham Townsley, 2015, United States, Brazil, Norway, Paraguay Cert U, 84 mins).

Landfill Harmonic follows the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, a Paraguayan musical group that plays instruments made entirely out of garbage. When their story goes viral, the orchestra is catapulted into the global spotlight. Under the guidance of idealistic music director Favio Chavez, the orchestra must navigate a strange new world of arenas and sold-out concerts.

The event is free but to attend you need to book by registering your interest as spaces are limited.

  I am quoting what a Tory SPAD said about Jenrick. I've not analysed Jenrick's exact words but it sounds like he is going down the GB News route which if true is rather sad. This was picked up by the media so you can follow this up - an article below, the Mail and Telegraph may have alternative takes. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/05/badenoch-defends-jenricks-remarks-about-people-from-alien-cultures I could stereotype and generalise about many cultures, races, nationalities and religions but I try not to. I'd rather hear in more detail from a Pakistani community leader and the like rather than a white privileged politician. https://mcb.org.uk/the-muslim-council-of-britain-calls-for-jenrick-to-be-sacked/

  I think it should be free and they should pay £1 for every one on target. Proceeds to go towards a Xmas bonus for the street cleaners.

  Sorry Malumbu, but to say that Pakistani men are being 'demonised' is disgraceful. The men in the rape gangs were predominantly from Pakistan - that is a fact. To suggest pointing this out is victimisation totally undermines the horror that the predominantly white young girls suffered at their hands. The men exploited this, using their nationality as a shield, and told their victims they wouldn't be believed. And they were right - some of he brave people who did call it out lost their jobs. To deny there is a strong cultural element to this, so as to protect your fear of being seen as anything other than liberal and progressive, is disingenuous at the very least. And to suggest that calling it out is far right is insane, I'm sure plenty women and girls of Pakistani heritage would agree. That Jenrick and Badenoch have picked this up and used it as a political football is a really disappointing start to the year, though at least today's debate in PMQs was respectful in its tone. But for the victims to have this glibly brought up and used to bait the other side just goes to show how little some of the protagonists really care about them.
