Container Society gives the audience an insight into a world of two men, both living in shipping containers on the gravel lot by the big oil tanks at Grandi, Reykjavík.Óli and Gummi are middle aged Icelandic men and are living in separate containers. Both of them have families, children and one of them even has grandchildren. However, their addiction to drugs has robbed them of everything. The containers were placed behind large industrial buildings so that the public wouldn’t be aware of them.
Thousands of people make their way to this area in Reykjavík daily, but few of them are aware of the container’s existence.
They welcomed me from day one. I quickly gained their approval. My goal is to show you how life in the shipping containers is. This is Container Society part 1.
