NOTES
Title from title frames
This road documentary travels across South America to understand Cartonera book production, finding citizens and cooperatives committed to using literary production as a means of fighting for social justice, economic equality, and a more sustainable world. Cartonera publishers are proponents of a salvage economy. They handcraft their books out of recycled materials, often bought straight from Cartoneros, people who make their living by collecting cardboard and selling it to recycle plants. This method not only allows unknown authors to be published, but also supports environmental sustainability and the democratization of literature by involving the help of Cartoneros in the production process and making the books available to people at prices significantly lower than those of conventional publishing houses
