“What's junk to some people, is treasure to others,” an idea that motivated the work of humanitarian Dorothy Davis. Dorothy Davis: Make a Way is as much a joyous celebration of spirit as an intimate portrait of Dorothy. This video documents her glorious creations and philosophies on recycling and duty to others. With her husband, Oliver, a scrap merchant, they struggle to provide care for pregnant girls and needy neighbors victimized by an unresponsive welfare system, in spite of their own poverty.
