Story on Cairo’s most unique Coptic community. Set against a backdrop of hills carved with churches overlooking the sprawling city center, families here have turned civilization’s jetsam into treasure by creating a whole ecosystem around recycling. By morning its mostly Christian inhabitants sort through junk to sell to recyclers. Families focus on a specific elements (plastic, metal, glass)- and their operation is organized, efficient, and often lucrative. By evening, everyone is in fresh clothes, taking in the glorious sunset from above the hills overlooking the Cairo skyline.These are a few stills…the story is set to be published later this year.
