On the October 15th edition of Your Call, we’ll speak with Amir Soltani about his new documentary Dogtown Redemption, which gives a voice to three recyclers in West Oakland. He’ll be joined by one of the recyclers, Landon Goodwin.
Alliance Metals is a recycling center in Oakland, California that has allowed many to survive, but it has to close its doors by August 2016 or face daily fines of $1,000. What impact will this have on recyclers? And what do you want to know about those who recycle in order to survive?
Guests:
Amir Soltani is the Producer and Co-Director of Dogtown Redemption.
Landon Goodwin is one of the recyclers in Dogtown Redemption and is now a minister.
