Z největší skládky odpadů na světě přichází neuvěřitelně pravdivý příběh známého newyorského umělce a skupiny catadores (mrchožrouti). Film, jehož natáčení trvalo téměř tři roky, sleduje známého umělce Vika Munize na jeho cestě z Brooklynu do rodné Brazílie, konkrétně na největší skládku odpadů na světě Jardim Gramacho, který se nachází na okraji Rio de Janeira. Právě tam vznikly fotografie eklektické skupiny Catadores (mrchožrouti) - samozvaných sběračů recyklovatelných materiálů. Munizovým počátečním cílem bylo namalovat Catadory s odpadky, nicméně následná spolupráce ho inspirovala k fotografickým obrazům z odpadků, které odhalují jejich důstojnost i zoufalství. Režisérka Lucy Walker a spolurežiséři Joao Jardim a Karen Harley měli úzký přístup k celénu procesu tvorby a na konci nabízejí strhující důkaz transformační síly umění a alchymie lidského ducha.

In various storylines a ruined relationship crosses paths with an old man begging for euthanasia, a live show featuring candidates who are mercilessly sacrificed to the audience, a dancer who cannot escape ageing despite her self-optimization and the one with the mask who craves to be famous at all costs.

A Finished Life: The Goodbye & No Regrets Tour is a feature length documentary about Gregg Gour, a 48-year-old gay man with AIDS, who, when given six months to live, takes the road trip of his life. Gregg had been HIV positive for 24 years and during that time the side effects of the medications made him increasingly sicker than the virus itself. In the last several years he felt that his quality of life had diminished considerably, so he choose to go off his meds and no longer fight death. After giving away all of his belongings, Gregg buys an RV and travels across the United States with his dog, Cody, saying goodbye to family and friends who have to come to terms with Gregg's decision: That rather than suffer a long, painful death, he will end his own life before allowing the progressing illness to take away his independence.
