I just saw this episode on PBS. I cannot say how eye opening and inspiring I found this piece to be. I cannot praise Vik Muniz enough for bringing these people into his art, and not only touching their lives, but the lives of us who would never otherwise be exposed to their struggles. Truly beautiful.
