Documentary: Who Knows It Feels It: A Waste Picker’s Perspective for a Just Transition
Waste pickers from Kenya, took to the stage to deliver an important message to policymakers ahead of the INC-3 negotiations for a global plastics treaty. This documentary film, produced by the Revolution Plastics Institute and GRID-Arendal, portrays the piece of carefully orchestrated legislative theatre that was performed in front of delegates attending INC-3, which took place 13-19 November 2023. The interactive drama piece raised awareness of the daily challenges that waste pickers face, and highlights the need for systemic change for the informal recycling sector, and a just transition to end plastic pollution. It is co-developed by waste pickers together with Matthew Hahn, the Social Justice Centers Traveling Theatre, KeNaWPWA and the Revolution Plastics Institute at the University of Portsmouth, supported by GRID-Arendal.'
