The Line

The critical work of reducing Edmontonians’ ecological footprint is done by some of the most marginalized members of our community. At the world-renowned Edmonton Waste Management Centre, a company called Quality One hires people with barriers to employment: criminal records, addictions, newcomer status, and disabilities of various kinds. The result: real community in an unlikely place. The Line is a documentary that sheds light on their stories and reveals what happens to the things we throw away.
