Poverty. The Fourth World
Description
In an endless landscape of garbage, hundreds of people fight with crows over the edible contents of the trash. Hungry children stare from the door of a shack. A man labors under the weight of a bucket of water on a muddy street lined by low, crowded dwellings. What are the human stories behind these images of the Fourth World? Traveling to Nairobi, Guatemala City, and Manila, this documentary brings viewers inside the world's shantytowns, exploring the reasons for their rapid expansion and revealing the personal struggles of those who live there.
