CLEAN HANDS (2019)
Special Features: Q&A with filmmaker Michael Dominic on Sept 22
[MANOS LIMPIAS]
Shot over the course of seven years, CLEAN HANDS documents the human drama, personal struggle, innocence and salvation of one family in Nicaragua surviving against the backdrop of Central America's largest garbage dump, La Chureca. The children have never been to school, and their mother Blanca is often overcome with rage. When an American philanthropist hears of their plight, she builds them a small house in the country on a plot of land they can farm. But as the family adjusts to their new surroundings, life grows even more complicated. (Note adapted from Chicago Latino Film Festival.)
