Akri; The Lifecycle | A peek in to the lives of waste pickers in Kerala | Documentary

Waste pickers’ contributions to our economy and environment are significant, but still, they are a neglected community, even in an educated state like Kerala. Thanal is working towards bringing the waste pickers of Trivandrum into mainstream society and into an organised fold which would help them secure basic safety and health insurance facilities and improve their quality of life.
