    When gemstone mining became illegal under Myanmar’s democratic government in 2019, locals rushed in to explore the forbidden mines that big companies had been obliged to abandon.

    Year: 2013
    Genre: Documentary
    Duration: 30 min

    Filmed almost entirely in black-and-white, this observational documentary gently explores a community of tyre cutters and recyclers, young and old, male and female, as they create with their super-sharp blades, careful eyes and skillful strokes, buckets, brushes and slippers from discarded rubber tyres. From time to time, in snatched conversation and song, something lyrical, even philosophical emerges, and we are gently reminded of how every death gives way to a birth.
