Soon after Amir Soltani moved to West Oakland a decade ago, he started noticing people scavenging recyclables from his trash. Soltani grabbed a video camera and followed them to the local recycling center. He discovered a world of enterprising homeless Oaklanders making their living by collecting and selling scrap metal. Solani’s side project eventually became a documentary, “Dogtown Redemption,” that is being re-released around the Bay Area on April 5th. Soltani joins us in studio to discuss the film and the lives of those living on West Oakland’s streets.
