Welcome to Sodom

Synopsis

Sodom is like a monster. "Sometimes you kill the monster, sometimes the monster kills you. In Accra, Agbogbloshie is one of the most toxic places on earth. It's the world's largest electronic landfill. Nearly 6,000 women, men and children work and live here. They call it "Sodom". Every year, some 250,000 tonnes of computers, smartphones, air conditioners and other appliances from a distant, electrified, digital world end up here. Shipped to Ghana illegally.

The filmmakers' relationship with the reality they show is expressed in images of great visual strength, which perfectly capture the intensity of the place and its inhabitants, and the vitality that persists despite everything, as seen in the joy of the musical moments.
