Flip Flotsam is a very charming documentary about the production, use, and adaptive reuse of flip-flops on the coast of Kenya. It is brief and informative, with excellent cinematography and narration. I was particularly inspired by such creative use of discarded consumer goods.

Here is a link to Flip Flotsam on YouTube.

Quoted from summary of Flip Flotsam on Link TV website: Gathered from across the shores of the Kiwaiyu Island, flip-flops are carved into dolphins, turtles and mobiles, fueling a new cottage industry which provides precious income for many families.
