Synopsis:

Must a disposable society throw out its memories along with its unwanted possessions?

Director Stacey Tenenbaum tackles this question in her globe-trotting documentary

SCRAP which takes place in metal graveyards where, “things like planes and ships and trains and trolleys all go to die.”

Discover the vast and strangely beautiful places where things go to die and meet the people who collect, restore, and recycle the world’s scrap. SCRAP scratches

beneath flaking paint and rusting metal to reveal the beauty and pathos in the ugliness we leave behind.
