Argentina. Buenos Aires. Poverty in Argentina forces thousands of people to collect papers, cartons in the garbage of rich areas of the city. Most of the time these people works with their children. They are called "Cartoneros". They are the forgotten of this new economic crisis. The cartoneros are the workers the less paid in all latin america. Every day a special train called the white train or the ghost train is leaving the suburb full of cartoneros.
