Sealed Cargo will screen Tuesday Sept. 19 at 7 pm in A1043.

Vargas-Weise’s third feature is a lively rejoinder to Bolivia’s status as a dumping ground for the world’s industrial waste. Sealed Cargo is a terrific ride through the seldom-seen Altiplano and a potent reminder of what really matters. Based on the real events that took place in 1994 when 400 tons of toxic waste were transported through Bolivia, the film delivers a crucial and current message about the global waste crisis. –Palm Springs International Film Festival
