The HBO documentary "Redemption" examines New York City's canners - the largely invisible people who survive by redeeming bottles and cans they collect from curbs, garbage cans and apartment complexes. Many have quietly slipped into poverty after losing their jobs, now living on the margins of society.
The film has been nominated in the documentary shorts category at this year's Academy Awards. We're joined by co-directors Jon Alpert and Matt O'Neill, both of the Downtown Community Television Center, a community media center based in NYC's Chinatown.
