Trash is a 2014 Brazilian-British adventure drama thriller film directed by Stephen Daldry and written by Richard Curtis,[3] based on Andy Mulligan's 2010 novel of same name.[4] The film stars Rooney Mara, Martin Sheen, Wagner Moura, and Selton Mello.

Plot

Trash follows three Brazilian street teenagers in Rio de Janeiro; Raphael, Gardo, and Rat (Jun-Jun) who spend their time picking through litter in the hope of finding useful waste. One day they discover a wallet whose contents will bring them into conflict with the brutal local police force as they find themselves unlikely whistleblowers in a city rife with corruption.[5] Rather than turn the wallet over to the authorities for a reward, they follow their faith-led belief to do what is right in the face of adversity. As the plot unfolds, one step after the other these teens persevere through unbearable challenges and circumstances.
