垃圾场中的天堂 (2012)

Camburnu is a small mountain village in northeastern Turkey. Thanks to the Black Sea’s mild and humid climate, the villagers have lived for generations off tea cultivation and fishing in harmony with the nature surrounding them. But this idyllic environment is threatened by the government’s decision ten years ago to build a garbage landfill directly above the village. Despite protests by the mayor and the villagers, a waste facility has been built that does not comply with the most important security and building standards and since then has continued to pollute the environment through accidents and disasters. The tea growers, whose plantations lie beneath the landfill, have lost their livelihood. The consequences are devastating and clearly evident, yet tons of waste continue to be dumped in the landfill every day.In 2006, filmmaker Fatih Akin went to Camburnu for the first time to shoot the finale of his film THE EDGE OF HEAVEN in his grandparent’s home village. When he learns of the impending environmental disaster, he decides to take action in the best way he knows how. Over a period of more than 5 years, he documents the small village’s struggle against the country’s powerful institutions, and records the inevitable disasters that consistently plague this former paradise… 这不是“垃圾场中的天堂”，分明是“天堂变成垃圾场”，而最终大概只能沦为地狱了。2017071 收尾兼具电影感与真实感，稀松平常的一天，扛上镜头出门，上诉虽然败北，抗争却永不停止。这个译名有点奇怪。关于本片，阿金的说法是：当你稍微有了一些影响力后，你总想为你的家乡做些什么去改变一下现实。一部结构感和层次性较强的纪录片，环境问题在后冷战时代其实同时成为了国际性的和区域性的权力角逐场。个人的另一个感受是，土耳其一个村儿里的民众都比深受雾霾侵害的天朝屁民们有民主斗争意识啊，服气。
