http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/recycle/ Ride shotgun with ex-Mujahideen fighter Abu Amar and his son through the chaotic streets of Zarqa, Jordan—a hotbed of political extremism and birthplace of the infamous al-Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Follow Amar’s daily life as he scours the streets to earn a meager living collecting cardboard to recycle and struggles with his faith and the social realities of life in the Middle East. In this clip, a friend of Abu Ammar describes almost getting killed by extremists and American soldiers during an ill-fated scheme to sell used vehicles in Iraq. RECYCLE premieres Tuesday, March 31 on INDEPENDENT LENS, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films.
