San Francisco en la Chureca

It centers on Gilberto, a 70-year-old man who lived for four decades inside La Chureca—Managua's former open-air garbage dump—alongside his 30 dogs. The documentary captures Gilberto's emotional and physical challenges as the dump undergoes closure and modern transformation, forcing him to adapt to a new subsidized home and a completely different lifestyle with his loyal canine companions.
