Who are these ordinary citizens who take all the risks, up to having to go into exile, to demand a Russia with a human face?

When the worm story proves to be a myth, rather than waste their trip, they decide to film the dump itself. Far from being a lifeless wasteland, the dump proves to be home to a multitude of birds and animals and a handful of people, all struggling to survive in an endless cycle of death, decay and rebirth.
