DESCRIPTION:GLIDE is proud to continue its thought-leaders’ series with a screening 
 of the documentary film Dogtown Redemption, an intimate story of recyclers 
 in West Oakland—a journey through a landscape of love and loss, devotion 
 and addiction, prejudice and poverty. Following the screening, there will 
 be a special GLIDE Talk with the film’s co-director, Amir Soltani, 
 recycler and former minister Pastor Landon Goodwin and the Coalition on 
 Homelessness' Jennifer Freidenbach in conversation with GLIDE associate 
 pastor Rev. Theon Johnson III. The free film screening and talk will take 
 place in GLIDE Sanctuary, 330 Ellis Street at Taylor, on Wednesday, 
 September 21.\n \n            A surprising number of Americans make their 
 living off vast rivers of trash. They are America's unseen. Dismissed as 
 scavengers and pests, these "pirates of trash" come to life in Dogtown 
 Redemption, the story of an underclass of shopping cart recyclers, poor 
 entrepreneurs who defy Darwin every day, cheating death and despair by 
 seeking redemption in trash. \n \n            The film follows the lives of 
 three recyclers: Jason Witt, the titan of recycling; Landon Goodwin, a 
 former minister who struggles with his own fall from grace; and Miss Hayok 
 Kay, the ultimate outsider, formerly a punk rocker from a prominent Korean 
 family and now at the mercy of the elements and predators.\n \nThe special 
 documentary film screening and talk is free, but reservations are required 
 at Eventbrite.\n \nWHAT:   \nGLIDE presents a special documentary film
