 world about to explode: the world of slums.  Sub-populations survive in the 
 direst of circumstances, excluded from mainstream society.  And they’re 
 growing at an alarming rate.  In 2007 one billion people lived in slums, by 
 2030 it will be two billion.  Poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, crime, 
 socio-political marginalization — all of these factors contribute to the 
 ever-worsening state of slums across the world.  This informative film gets 
 right to the heart of the matter, revealing both the struggle of life for 
 those within the slums and the wider implications that their mammoth 
 expansion will have on our world.  It is an eye-opening investigation, 
 bringing us inside the world’s shanty towns and exploring the reasons for 
 their rapid expansion and the consequences if this mass of deprived 
 humanity is ignored.\n\nIn an endless undulating landscape of rubbish 
 hundreds of people fight with crows over the edible contents of man-made 
 landscapes.  Living in exceptionally harsh conditions; lacking basic daily 
 necessities; denied access to education or legitimate employment:  crime 
 becomes the only means of survival.  Stretching across three continents, 
 from the slums of Nairobi, Guatemala City, to Manila, this powerful 
 documentary looks past statistics, investigating the reality of one the 
 largest social migrations witnessed in mankind’s history.\n\nWheelchair 
 accessible around the corner at  411  28th  Street\n\n$5 donations are 
 expected\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/11/02/18725009.php
