  • Rare archival footage of Fresh Kills landfill
  • A behind-the-scenes look at Freshkill’s state-of-the-art landfill engineering system
  • A discussion around the park’s plant and animal ecology that sustains on the grounds
  • Modern photos showcasing the sweeping views of the NYC skyline from the ‘hilltops” that were once garbage mounds
