very bold.....
they should "relocate" to Geyland for their business.Confirm prosper one

Are you going to make that documentary, by standing aside and just video the action quietly? You must want to tell a story.
These people are at any hawker centres, go out with your pen and note book.
Get started with that, and one thing will lead to another.
Once you got an idea of what 'can collecting' is like. You then decide how you want to tell the world, or least Singapore. Tell about their lifestyle, how pityful, hard, their choice, unfortunate circumstances, bad government, no family support, ungracious public, you choose the theme, you can even decide on a comedy, present a humourous aspect of can collecting.
Tell a story, choose the medium.

Thanks, mancha.
Think the very first step would be to locate where can collectors frequent. If eagle's sources are correct, we can check out clementi hawker centre. We need to interview at least one can collector, which would be a challenge, as most of them are probably more versed in dialect (which we aren't). We may also have to do a walkthrough of their typical work collecting and sending the cans for processing.
Any other ideas are welcome. Thanks. :)
