On the 28th of last month, poor people search for garbage trucks in front of a supermarket in a wealthy neighborhood in downtown Fortaleza, the capital of Ceará, northeastern Brazil.
Andre Kiroz, an Uber taxi driver, accidentally took this video while passing by.
K-Rose posted a video on her social media account with the phrase, "The sad image of people trying to feed their families."

According to local media, more and more residents are making a living by digging through garbage on the streets of Brazil.
