Crumbs
An Ethiopian science fiction movie made by Miguel Llansó (born in Madrid 😞). The story explores how pop culture objects will become objects of mystery in a post-apocalyptic world where the world's population has been reduced to a near-apocalyptic level.
Disclaimer: I have not watched the movie and read the article linked for more info.
I was listening to a podcast where the author said he was inspired to write the story when he was living in Addis Ababa. He saw how western culture has influenced African culture so much, that the trash on the streets is mostly made up of western brands. He wrote the story to answer the question of how these objects (the trash) will be seen and interpreted in a near future world where their sources are forgotten.

Check out my Peerlist Profile. I read somewhere that it was helpful for getting hired. Either way it looks cool. But I got tired copying info from my GitHub repositories to the projects section of the profile page.

"I am a programmer. We don't worry about warnings; we only worry about errors."
