It's an engaging film worth seeing (they even did a bit of preliminary research for Scrappers here in Youngstown). The filmmakers will be there to talk afterward.

Scrappers is an intimate verite portrait of two scrap metal scavengers in Chicago, one an undocumented Honduran immigrant and the other an elderly public housing resident, shot over 3 years. The film follows their lives in the informal economy from the highest recorded scrap metal prices in history, in 2007, through the complete collapse of the commodity markets in 2008.
