A very powerful look at the Kenyan slum of Kibera, where more than a million people struggle to survive every day. The urban population is increasing at an astonishing pace and has now outnumbered the rural one. We are introduced to a range of different characters whose daily lives are atrociously hard and where all they are left with is prayers for a little good fortune. Carol is a single mother of 3 who walks for miles every day trying to make a living cleaning people’s clothes – most days, her children and herself go to bed hungry. Patrick empties latrines for a living, seeing how most toilets are privately owned in Kibera. As opposed to the life of crime he could have chosen, this is an honest way of making a living that will insure his children get the proper education he could never have. More than a billion people live in slums worldwide and this glimpse into their lives is a true eye opener.
