In Focus Argentina: Ghost Train

Back


Argentina's economic crisis in the early 2000s threw tens of thousands of people out of work. For many, working for themselves as a cartonero, someone who collects trash to sell to recycling centers, became the only option to put food on the table. A video by Gabrielle Weiss. Produced by the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. Produced in association with The Virginia Quarterly Review (VQR) and J. Malcolm Garcia.
