"Recycling in Mali"

This educational piece (adapted from a earlier documentary by Mamadou Samake) illustrates the incredible resourcefulness of the Malian people and underscores how precious raw materials are to those who live here.

Discarded items (from cars to tin cans) are reclaimed and then pounded, stretched, or melted into a variety of new and useful items. This piece is part of a interactive multimedia experience at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C
