Our Salvage Project is a compelling documentary that shines a spotlight on the transformative work of the Shedding Community Workshop and sustainability advocate Sophie Wilksch. At the heart of the film is “Our Salvage Crew” – a dedicated initiative launched over six months in response to urgent challenges in waste management, sustainability, and climate resilience.

Through practical, hands-on engagement, the team developed creative strategies to repurpose waste materials and reimagine their potential, while also delivering meaningful community education. The initiative not only had a significant environmental impact, it also reshaped the internal culture and future direction of the Shedding Community Workshop itself.

Offering a rare and inspiring glimpse into a grassroots response to global issues, Our Salvage Project invites audiences into a world where resourcefulness meets resilience, and where community-driven action sparks real change.
