Children of a Lesser God!

Page Description

Explore justice versus conscience
through the inspiring
story of Osman Mukisa in
Children of a Lesser God!’
A reflection on compassion and selflessness.

 

Kinderen van een mindere God!

Kenden zij de liefde van hun moeder?
Werden ze gewiegd door hun vaders?
Hebben ze hier een levenslijn? Nee!
Ze werden alleen gelaten, om voor zichzelf te zorgen!

Verlaten door de narcistische criminelen
Verloren, zich niet bewust van hun realiteit.
Zij waren de kinderen van een mindere God.
Zij waren krijgers, niet gebroken.

Hun kansen trotserend en dapper strijdend
Ze zingen hymnes, loven de Almachtige
voor hun leven, zonder ooit te beseffen wat ze verloren
Hunkerend naar een klein leven met hoopvolle ogen.

Alleen in deze wereld zijn wij ook
Levend omringd door vele
een leven en sterven alleen
Gezegend zijn zij die het vroeg beseffen;

Anju Devadas

Enfants du Petit Dieu !

Ont-ils connu l’amour de leur mère ?
Ont-ils été bercés par leurs pères ?
Ont-ils une bouée de sauvetage ici ? Non !
Ils ont été laissés seuls, à se débrouiller par eux-mêmes !

Abandonnés par le criminel narcissique
Délaissés, inconscients de leur réalité.
Ils étaient les enfants d’un dieu inférieur
Ils étaient des guerriers, pas des brisés.

Défiant leurs chances et combattant bravement.
Ils chantent des hymnes, louent le Tout-Puissant.
Pour leur vie, sans jamais se rendre compte de ce qu’ils ont perdu.
Ils aspirent à une petite vie avec des yeux pleins d’espoir.

Seuls dans ce monde, nous sommes aussi
Nous vivons entourés de nombreuses
une vie et mourir seul
Heureux ceux qui s’en rendent compte le plus tôt possible ;

Anju Devadas

Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte is waging a brutal war on drugs. Thousands of people have already died at the hands of the police, including children. 
 
The populist president has ordered the country’s security forces to kill anyone that they think is connected to the drugs trade. Minors have also suffered under the crackdown. Some children have been inadvertently killed during drugs raids, while others have become police targets. Most come from the poorest sections of society. The film makers accompany street children trying to survive on the streets of the capital Manila. They meet adults who are trying to help, but also encounter the forces persecuting the children.

3 Street Kids Looking At Food Menu! 

26 apr. 2020

Homeless kids looking at food menu. Walking home from the shopping Mall at 10:00 at night we thought we would help treat these kids to a restaurant meal for the first time! 🙂 Safe and friendly walk home at night in Manila?
 
arctic braga
My friend you are way to naïve, your questioning shows that clearly!!! I have been many times in Manila most of the street kids have home and family, they are poor and I always help them out when ever I can and you are a good man to do that. They go to school, they are clean and in clean clothes means they have a home, it may not be much of a home but at least they have one and boys this age are always hungry.

7 Feeding Street Kids of Cox Bazar Bangladesh

3 aug. 2018

 
After delivering Sawyer water filters to the Rohingya refugees, I spent a day exploring the streets of Cox Bazar. I ran into a group of street kids who I treated to a meal at a local restaurant. I spent some time and got to know a little about their lives. 
 
Little did I know that I would come face to face with the crushing poverty some of those children have to endure. Despite those conditions, they’re happy and friendly, or at least around me. They seem to hit each other a lot. 
 
*Bangladesh is home to aggressive Zika tainted mosquitoes. I got bit over 50 times in a matter of days there.

8 Feeding Poor Street Kids & Double Amputee @ Phnom Penh Cambodia

12 feb. 2019

Hey everyone, I’m out again feeding people again, this time street kids and a double amputee in Phnom Penh Cambodia near the Russian Market. Cambodia has one of the world’s highest concentration of amputees due to all the left over land mines from several wars and is still one of the most heavily mined countries in the world (140 land mines per square mile according to UNICEF).

This double amputee was sorting through a bag of garbage and caught my curiosity. He had a single prosthetic arm with a thin metal rod attached to it that he used to open things. What he was looking for? The bag was full of waste from the market so was he looking for food? I love helping these kinds of people. When he looked through a Styrofoam takeout container, I asked if he wanted food.

He said yes and took me to a nearby fried rice stall around the corner. He had a nice bag, seemed reasonably well dressed, and had a hat, and didn’t seem like the typical homeless or poor person who lived on the street so it confused me why he was sorting through rubbish.

I was hoping he could sit and eat with me so we could talk but he had ordered take out. It didn’t occur to me, but with no hands, how could he eat? I figured he must have someone taking care of him. At this point, a few street kids came over. I thought they might just be curious but I offered them food as well.

A nice lady who was there with her son helped me communicate. After asking, the kids said they would share 2 plates, each costing 9000 Riels. The lady was very nice but she had to go to the hospital to take care of a family member. The two street girls finished their plates, which made me happy, but the boy barely ate half. He packed the rest, which also made me happy. They were very camera friendly. When they started doing that Asian pose, I showed them how to do the Korean Sa-Rang-Hae thingie.

After they ate, they went to another stall to get more free food. I figured they would give it to their parents. Maybe the rice dish I got them wasn’t necessary. They didn’t look starving or that hungry but I wanted to help out that night anyways. When they left, they said “I love you” which surprised me since they probably only know a dozen words. **Bless whoever taught them that.

The owners of the rice porridge place were very pleasant so I decided to eat there, and to my surprise, their rice porridge was one of the best things I had in Cambodia! I would later go on to eat there almost every other night. I will definately stop by when I’m there again.

The owner’s daughter came and said hi to me. Apparently, they give free food to street kids on the regular, which impressed me even more. The daughter asked if I was Christian, and was excited to share that she was Christian too and went to a Christian school. Her joy was so overflowing that it felt like a spiritual meeting and a blessing of sorts. It turns out, she is the only Christian in her family. The rest are Buddhist. That reminded me of my extended family who are Buddhist or Christian.

Anyways, after hearing how the people of Cambodia have suffered so much, I’m glad to meet nice helpful people injecting new life. Thank you and may peace be with you.

9 Meeting Sweetest Homeless Girl ~She’s 6 ! +Update Scavenger Girl Found! Nga & Linh are back!

Back to menu

2 jul. 2019

Thanks to my first Patreon pledge from Mr. D. Rhee, I went out to find someone to help. That’s when I met a truly homeless family with one of the sweetest homeless 6 year old girls I’ve ever seen at the Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam.

I offered them assistance with anything and we actually ended up at Bun Man 22, a place Mark Wiens reviewed. The price was double the normal amount because that area has many tourists.

I also offered to buy them anything at the convenience store. Seeing a sweet homeless 6 year old girl run around and get everything she wanted was awesome. Thank you Mr. D. Rhee from the bottom of my heart.

I left feeling that was a nice experience for the both of us but I saw them again a few nights later sleeping next to a loud road. They really were homeless! I wanted to help them more.

I took a part of Mr. D. Rhee’s proceeds and decided to give them cash in a special “God Loves You” Tet Lucky Money Envelope with 600k VND (~$26) and a Beatitude inside. Since most beggars there make at least 100k VND a day and can rent a room with that, I thought 600k or about a weeks salary to a successful beggar was good enough but now I wish I gave more…

Updates:
I found the scavenger girl! Thanks to the Manila Police, we were able to locate her family so she’s not homeless anymore! Full video coming soon. I also found the girl from 7-11 from one of my first videos! Nga and Linh from Troy Nguyen’s videos are back at the Ben Thanh market and will be there until the end of July. Apparently, the police there are cracking down on those walking street sellers at the market and are fining them if they are caught selling within the night market. This has made selling much harder for those sellers.

I can’t wait to show you all the incredible people we met and helped, which would not have been possible if it I wasn’t going out on the behalf of my Patreon supporters:

Mr. D. Rhee,
Ms. J.In
Mr. J. Leaman
Mr. Doorway,
Mr. M. Schneider
Mr. M. Loosli
Mr. D. Applegate, and
Mr. Andrew

**Note that I will only be abroad for a couple more weeks so it will most likely be many months before I can use the funds for the poor for any new Patreon pledges. But I will collect it and use it to help the poor people that I come across. For current Patreons, I advanced a few months to hold us over for a little while. If anyone decides to stop their pledge, I’ll cover it. I’m just deeply appreciative that you were moved enough to help in the first place, which encouraged me to go out even more, so thank you!

As always, thanks for watching and Peace Be With You.

10 Surviving The Streets Of Africa | Life In The Slums (Poverty Documentary) | TRACKS

Back to menu

25 mrt. 2021

All his life Bernard has lived in one of Africa’s biggest slums. When he turned 17 he had to leave his home due to overcrowding in his family.

Many children, often younger than Bernard, face the same issue. To protect themselves on the streets and to avoid loneliness the children and teenagers form gangs.

The fact that anyone in the world who has lots of children and then throws them out because of overcrowding is disgraceful! Children don’t ask to be born. Imagine being thrown out at age 6 or 13 and having to fend for yourself. It’s heartbreaking 😞
noel
I hope this Bernard kid made it, and his dreams came true. I would love to see how he’s doing now.
Guest
Thank you for your videos and even if it’s old as implied it still does not matter. The issue not about where it is since there are plenty towns, districts everywhere in the world. It’s just a reminder to be happy and appreciate what you have in life. Try to make the best of yourself especially if you have a good start since birth and try to help others who are in need and fight poverty. Poverty is a major problem in the world.

I haven’t even watched this documentary yet, but just the look on the face of the young man in the ad, I see his pain, anguish and torment… So sad that anyone anywhere in this world is that broken at such a young age.. 😢😢😢😢
Dan vic
This was definitely filmed in the 1990s. I am close to Mathare and there is a very big difference between the situation then and now. The cars are really old and the I recognize very few things on the streets. The boys are most probably in their fifties or even sixties.
Blu Chips
It’s always wise for professionals to timestamp their work. And good taste to have a real interpreter…and when a few years go by, do a followup of the interviewees instead of rerunning the old film.
JaSon Joshuah
wow the early days of Africa, so amazing how far the content has come in such a short space of time, can imagine how much more it can go on just a few years.
JaSon Joshuah
i watch street and homeless videos from all around the world, its amazing how people live and struggle all around the world yet we pride our selves in being developed and we waste food and we start idle wars and battles to help us ignore the poor and suffering as we amass wealth.

Kenya, the country which is close to my heart. Despite having the most innovative and creative citizens, is lagging behind because most of its leaders are corrupt.
Mike B
Keep on having 15 children, these people are great grandparents by age 45. It’s insanity. All human population growth is in places of abject poverty, 100% of it. Something needs to be done..like come up with a social security program where they make less money the more children they have? I don’t know..But something needs to change to prevent these child horror stories.
Xtabol X
Damn I’m thank8for my childhood….even if we have the stress of “racism” hunger poverty and slum living is worse the anything I’ve ever seen in America …I think gangstas who can’t conform to the laws should be sent to live there to see what REAL gangsta life is like… smh…

Subject: Poor people living in the huts ⛺ Today we see lots and lots of poor people living in huts. Their life is not that much eady and convenient. There may be no separate rooms in Huts. It contains only one portion with no any other extra rooms or a kitchen. They manage with what they have and keep running their life in a way they can. There will be no beds for them to sleep. They manage to sleep on the mud floors on a hand made mats. Their sleeping place and the kitchen, are all comes in one place. They are totally poor so they cannot afford to go out for a good living. They have to manage with what they have and that’s the truth. The needy and the poor people have no leisure, no entertainments, no education, no proper medication and no proper meals. They have to survive with what they have and that’s the only situation they have. The life of the poor is not that much easy as you think. It’s a hard life, they have to work hard for their bread. Each and every day when the sun starts to rise, they wake up early and look for their food by going out. At times earning could be easy, at times it could be difficult, and it depends. Medication and children schooling is rather a difficult matter. In some villages the children has to walk long distance for their schools. There won’t be professional schools but just to support them with little education they have simple and small schools. All in all they have to face problems in their life and there is no end for their frustrations. Poor and needy people are the biggest losers and sinners in this world. They will not get what they want instead they will be facing the fate day and night. Luck doesn’t comes near them but the fate always surrounds them and put them into difficulties. The father as well as the mother in that poor family has to work hard for their living. Some places only the father is able to earn for the family and the mother take cares her children. When coming to food or meals, I think there won’t be a single day where they can fill their stomach with food. At times they will have only a little portion of food for them to share equally. In another day they will have no food even to share. So in that case all what they do is stay in hunger. Starvation is written only for the poor and needy people. They starve, they survive and they manage. These things are quite common for them. There is no strength in their body, no vitamins in their body, no power in their body, no safety in their life. All these things are because they don’t have enough food to eat or drink. If we are rich, if we have sufficient money, if we are very excellent in our financial background, if we have lots of wealth and if we are living a luxurious life, then take little time to think about the people who are suffering from hunger and starvation. Visit them or find a way to help them and do the help without a limit. Look into their empty stomach, look for their hunger, their difficulties and problems. Try to help them and do the needful. The blessings of the poor people are the most valuable and the most precious gifts that you can earn in this world. These blessings, you will take them with you, the time you die, and go to your graves. Remember, the money and wealth you save in this world will never come with you at the time of your death and even to your grave. Once you die, your money and your wealth will go to another hands. Your family will never have time to remember you, even they will never allocate their time to visit to your graves. So remember to give charity as much as you can and earn the blessings of the poor and needy people. Their blessings will follow you to your grave. Be a great winner by giving charity. Charity is alive and there is no death for it. By: Dawood ✍ Written on : 08.02.2022

Im reading the comments and I’m really finding it hard to think that this was filmed in 1987. I was alive and conscious then. Even with outdated cars, I’m thinking that this was 1977. 1987? No way!

Those children life is so pathetic n sad. People don’t show empathy to them. They deserve love, caring n acceptance in society. I can only lift them in my humble daily prayers. Jesus loves u little ones. God bless u all.
Honey Adeniyi
Thanks to the comment section, I wont waste 30 minutes of my life watching a 1980s video about a poor area in Kenya and promoted as if this is today’s Kenya/Afrika. Propaganda. if you ask me.
Carla's Classes
Yeah. It’s outdated. But here’s the thing… we would have swallowed this hook, line and sinker at the time it was filmed. We should be proud of how far humanity has come that we can look at this and instantly know that this documentary company would be raked over the coals if they produced this today. There’s something to be said for that. This is our old story of a small area of one city in Kenya, at that point not distinguishable by westerners from the rest of the African continent. Hey guys, our reactions to this video shows our progress. Let’s really celebrate that. It’s like looking at a “before” photo to measure our progress.
Ebony Stone
If you Google this documentary apparently it was filmed in 1987. This boys are big grown men now. Hope they are all ok and well.
Nick Sawyer
Father Arnold Grol was a fixture in Nairobi’s slums and streets for nearly 30 years, until his death at 73 in August, 1997.
THE WORD LOVERS MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL.
Grammatical blunder: Your title should have been: “A Story of Africa’s Street Children” not “A Story of African Street Children”. The story was about Street children located in Africa, not in African which obviously doesn’t exist. People from Africa are referred to as Africans. It is imperative to know the difference between Africa and African, which are two different words entirely that cannot be used interchangeably.

Me and my 6 year old would suffer together. I would not be able to sleep at night not knowing where my kids are at. We would live and die together before I would put my kid out to fend for itself.

This is a one sided story. Documentary should be comprehensive and try best to tell the full story because not everybody that lives in the area been shown in the documentary lived in abject poverty. There is affluent areas as well but Caucasian preferred the narrative that all Africans are poor. White people also have lots of people who are homeless and lived in abject poverty.

Why does it matter that it’s old? It’s true.

Made in 1987! When Moi and his gang had let the country go to the dogs. Kibera was by then a small slum. Mathare has really improved but we could have done better. I bet they are all dead.

A certain part of humanity is obsessed with money, power, stardom, materialism, luxury, awards and recognition. Like it‘s a rat race of who has more Millions and Billions of $, who has the biggest mansion, the biggest social media, who is the biggest superstar in Hollywood, who wears the most expensive dresses, who holds the highest position in politics or in big corporate. And i am just here and thankful to live a stable middle class lifestyle and not the life displayed in the video.

Another piece that the West enjoys, an unbalanced reporting about Africa. Furthermore Africa is a continent bigger than USA, CHINA, western Europe and Canada combined. Let that sink in.

These video is early 1980 and why are they showing us 2021 red flag men and why are they calling those street kids a gang …..

That’s child labour extorting them on false hope and dreams. Just to drive a car. Like how about a pention.

SERIOUSLY, DID YOU DO ABSOLUTELY NO RESEARCH INTO TRADITIONAL AFRICAN SOCIETAL AND CULTURAL NORMS? This is just traditional African culture, and the way they organise their society and villages…. The boys have ALWAYS lived apart from their mothers at a very young age, and are sent to live with the MALES of the village and learn the ways of men.. They would traditionally learn to track and hunt game, ..and learn to fight and the art of war…. There are no traditional “ Christian” families , with mother and father family groups..raising their children together. The boys live with the men, the girls live with the women. …and their roles are clear and severely delineated..The women farm, grow and gather food from the land, build huts , cook and have babies and care for them; the girls remain with the women and take care of all the everyday life necessities…and feed, clothe , provide shelter and take care of the everyday needs of the men and boys.. The men are warriors, they defend the tribe, capture slaves, kill their enemies and hunt wild game to feed all the villagers…. But …these firm societal structures are floundering…but they still exist. But it is NOT “ overcrowding “ that forces boys out of their mother’s hut and society, it’s his MALENESS …it’s just how the tribal structures of African cultures work…and they’re not easily changed or adaptive…and they’re caught betwixt western and African societal structures, values and cultures…

I don’t understand they are so poor and they had 14 children’s what’s wrong with them ?? They should control the birth first so they can take care of the children. They can still be happy with 2 children’s Atleast they can get a good food and school

Knowing that they are poor and can’t provide enough food for their kids. They continued to have so much more kids . Do they not have condoms or know what safe sex is? Or are they depending on sympathy and sorrow from the world to help them. These adults disgust me. I only feel bad for these innocent children that never ask to be born to this condition.

Gilbert Franklin
Birth rate of Africa is 32 per 1,000 people, N America is 12 and Europe is 4 per 1,000 people. How can the poor countries in Africa afford to raise so many children? At that rate there will always be suffering among families. The women need to receive help with birth control. 🙄

11 The rich, the poor and the trash | DW Documentary (Inequality documentary)

Back to menu         IMPORTANT CONTENT

ELSIEMUSIC TV8 jun. 2018

Inequality is growing. The rich consume much more than the poor and produce much more waste. Trash has become a symbol of our times.
 
But what some people throw away, means money to others and a chance to survive. The amount of waste we generate and the way we deal with it speak volumes about our consumption and prosperity – and also about our levels of social inequality. In the documentary, “The Rich, the Poor and the Trash,” co-directors Naomi Phillips and Thomas Hasel explore the lives of people both working with and living off trash. Twenty-eight-year-old Godwin Ochieng lives in Dandora, a slum in Kenya, where one of the largest dumpsites in Africa is located. He spends his days combing through endless piles of garbage coming in the truckload from the city’s wealthier districts in the hope of finding something to sell: for him, the mountain of trash is a lifeline. One person who tries to help youths in the slum is Godwin Ochieng’s role model, hip-hop star Juliani, who also comes from Dandora. The founder of the youth club wants to radically change Kenyan society. Meanwhile, halfway around the globe in one of the world’s richest and most expensive cities, Pierre Simmons searches the streets of New York for cans he can sell to recycling companies. In 2014, Pierre Simmons gave a speech about poverty to the United Nations on behalf of “Sure we can”, a non-profit recycling center in New York. “I don’t think anybody here at Sure We Can wants to live like Wall Street people,” says Pierre. Both men live in countries where the gap between rich and poor is vast. But the social gap between the US and Kenya is also huge. Economists Lucas Chancel and Kate Raworth warn against the consequences of a huge imbalance at both the national and international levels. They believe it poses a great danger to our entire system of values in the West, to our understanding of democracy and, ultimately, to our economy.

This documentary makes me realize how lucky I am. I wish I had enough wealth to help everybody in need all over the world!
christine aygin
the guy that collects trash is VERY wise – he speaks from the heart and has an insight that many lack – bless you
Osman Mukisa
This really breaks my heart. I grew up as well struggling, was lucky to leave East Africa for Europe at the age of 16 for football, now 24. I’ve been exposed to the better side of life. I truly understand what these people are going through. Being exposed well, my ambition now, is to help these people and speak to the young ones and fill them with hope and make them attain education, i wanna come up with the biggest program in the region. God bless the move.
ELSIESMUSIC TV
Absolutely one of the most informative documentaries I’ve ever came across on youtube, it amazes me how educated the homeless gentleman is yet the struggles he faces day in and day out… Keep fighting my brothers and sisters…
mmmkaykay
This guy is a very smart man, just imagine if he had opportunities available to him to receive an education and like he said the resources to adequately meet his needs.
Angelo Bugini
The rich, the poor and the trash is definitely a stupendous documentary! I truly did appreciate it so much. Thanks a lot for sharing! Keep it up!
Sarahi Flores
My respect goes out to all these hardworking people
mjblue84
Thank you for this documentary! This should be shown to young students…so children learn compassion and the importance of human dignity.
Sonam Jordanma
Story is same. If these poor become rich, they also do the same. Unless people change their mentality there’s no hope. Children should be taught in schools the difference between need and want and the importance of minimalism.
Mya
what an amazing documentary exploring real heart breaking issues. Literally watching them pick through that trash to find food made me cry, its truly awful to see people living like this. To know that ive been privileged and lucky to have the simple things in life humbles you even more. So sad to think that you can be completely against this horrible life but yet you really have no idea how to get involved in the change. I always find myself frustrated that i dont really know how to help, especially with these types of issues being a problem throughout the world (in its own way). However, obviously this is a sad extreme case of poverty, that nobody should have to endure
AquariuzDiva
The guy from Bronx is right about him saying that the ppl looking down on him are most likely 1 paycheck away from being homeless. themselves. Its a big percentage in America that is like this..
Maina Gakere
This was one of DW’s best documentaries show the struggles of different individuals from different parts of the world. Unfortunately inequality is a bitter pill to swallow and will always be there and has been there even in the past. The gentleman, Pierre is an orator and knows what he is talking about, I wish all the best for him. My country Kenya indeed has inequality and always has been there. I just pray our government could come up with a system to rehabilitate people who leave in the streets as well as those in informal settlements and train them with skills that can sustain them for the rest of their lives. Education is not enough to help someone through life..they need people skills as well. By doing that the economy gradually grows as youth unemployment. Lastly, Health care is also another issue.
Esther S
That “canner” is a true man..he does what he has to do (legally) to make his way…without begging. It’s such a shame decent people like him end up homeless.
Athena Baldwin
God bless these people that are struggling but also surviving,living strong and not giving up
Rahab Ngugi
Your documentaries are excellent! Thought provoking! Candid! Raw! Informative! I love them! I’m Kenyan and as much as I have heard of what happens at the garbage dumps, watching it puts it in a whole different perspective. We may not be in a position to do much now but opening our eyes to what is happening will continue to stir our collective conscious and prompt us to taking action that will re calibrate our society’s wealth distribution patterns . Keep up the good job DW!
N T
It’s heartbreaking to see that man holding a chicken bone and eating it after someone has already eaten it. While most people think it’s disgusting and you can get sick eating someone else’s germs, for him it’s about surviving.
Hello Yosep
That black man who collect trash in New York is sooooooo sooooooooo soooooooooo admirable. The way he thinks, bless him. I feel if given a chance, he really can change the world. He is amazing. I wish him the best ❤

Noel Collins
There is a legend that when you get hooked on DW documentaries, then you can’t miss any upload. Hands down you guys are the best documentary team on the entire planet right now. And to my fellow citizens of the earth, you can’t have both freedom and equality, they are mutually exclusive.
Alex Ndegwa
I am in Kenya and I would love if DW crew would come and focus on corruption. Political and public servants are very corrupt and there is no way a country can have economical equality if 60% of revenue goes into paying salaries and recurrent expenditures, 30% is stolen directly through tenders that nothing is delivered !
simi fili
This documentary makes you appreciate what you have. This made me emotional at the end. Thank you to the maker’s of this documentary.
Poisonivy Heart
There’s always gonna be inequality but the extreme between them is deafening. Especially when a majority of the mega rich are in that bracket because they are taking from or using the poor. It’s soul destroying
larold
$75 a day from collecting recyclables ? thats not bad. below minimum wage but he isnt sitting on his ass and isnt robbing anyone or doing anything shady. respect that man.
Samantha wilson
Thank you for this documentary. You have opened my eyes to a new world, a new perspective on waste, what is considered waste by myself and my surroundings, and what can be repurposed. Thank you 🙏
MsEllaM
It breaks my heart to see ppl living like this. 💔😞
Rosie
Amazing. So very well done, compelling and engaging the whole way through. Beautiful work on such a massively complex set of issues.
Lavish Elite Lifestyle
My husband and I just moved from NewYork back to the south of America. We’re both college educated but it was extremely hard living in NewYork. The world will never learn. Poor people who become rich look down on the poor forgetting they were once poor. Rich people just don’t care. No other way to say it.

This documentary was so inspiring to the core s/o to both men 💯💯💯💯💯

I am always amazed at the amount of electricity that is wasted in advertising in places such as New York City, Las Vegas and other places similar. We are so wasteful; we really are. Do we have the right to be wasteful; morally, no.

There’s two reasons I love watching these documentaries. 1: I’m fascinated by what goes on around the world and 2: it brings be right back down to earth and shows me how privileged I am!

Very interesting and educative thanks DW for put your afford to publish this wonderful documentary..
sinceramentemente
Phenomenal documentary as always DW – what a good job you are doing with your profound and insightful documentaries. Thank You.
Jo Alex Sg
Yes, this is an excellent doc, no doubt about it. However, it should also be pointed out that our planet is a complex, organic web of ecological systems which have been pushed beyond their limits by the overgrowth of the human population, which, of course, has polluted most of the planet, but also represents a threat to the environment by the overuse of natural resources which cannot supply such an absurd amount of people with so many daily needs, and especially fresh water. Responsive but humane birth control (and by this I´m not advocating absurdities like late abortion at all!) is not a matter of upper classes imposing limits over the lower ones on the number of children they may or not have but a crucial concern which should be a duty to all social classes in truly civilized societies. Also, although I am a vegetarian for the sake of Animal Rights itself, it should be pointed out as well that the meat industry is one of the actual responsible factor for both the destruction of the environment and world hunger itself.

I became a fan of that old gentleman’s wisdom. Every single word he said is the reality of today. Wish our politicians had such clarity of thoughts. Respect sir!

I spend quite a bit of my spare time watching random videos on Youtube, but rarely have I been as impressed as I have been by that bloke in the NY cap, his compassion, humanity and vision have given me something to ponder as I go about the society that immediately surrounds me.

As a Kenyan I love the interconnectedness between the two poors.
Millie Sunshine
DW thank you so much for airing this. Especially the Kenyan bit, i come from Kenya and i cried when i watched this. It saddens me that most of this few rich people have earned their wealth from our tax money. They have really sabotaged our lives so that i we will forever be their slaves. The situation is pretty much the same in all sectors including the most vital sector like health. Thank you DW
Nichelle Morgan
This is such a serious issue that affects a lot of people, especially in third world countries. The man from NYC is speaking the truth, we have to do better to help our brothers and sisters in poverty and also help save the environment.

It does not take much to become desperately poor in the U.S. Most people are living paycheck to paycheck. One major illness can ruin a family overnight.
Mutai
I think this is the most reasonable video have watched talking about Kenya vs America. Like DE producers are too fair, saying the truth and comparing both sides without lying, but showing the truth to the camera! Keep it up
Ms Gem
Wow this was a great watch! Makes me feel humble and gives me the energy to help anyone in need…
Andreas Magnusson
I believe the key is for regular or wealthy people to start “simple” businesses to hire the homeless / ultra poor. These people already work insane hours to survive day to day, they would provide a great workforce for employees, and would work regular hours and contribute to society with their full potential. This is how it is solved, not through “higher taxes” ..
IvanPlayStation4LiFe
Great documentary (DW). Real without biased all facts love it. Education is the most powerful weapon for everything.
Lil' Sarah Starr
This is so messed up. I wish I could help them all. No one should ever live like this.
zionsimas
I came to the US from a poor country, with no money, no contacts, no knowledge of my way around here and 15 years later I’m making a good living for myself, realizing my dreams. Inequality is a reality anywhere you go and there will always be the rich and the poor, that’s how it is. The difference between the have and the have nots in the developed countries is a matter of freeing yourself of your negative state of mind and laziness. Have a plan, work hard and smart and you’ll make it. It bothers me when I see Americans complaining about inequality while living in the most prosperous nation in History. If you can’t make it here, you can’t make it anywhere.
needmoreramsay
Great documentary. I have lived through the poverty he is talking about. Not quite in the streets as the Canadian welfare system used to protect most people, but the rice and onions, bologne and Kraft dinner. Ripped clothes (BEFORE they were considered cool) to school. I’ve been fortunate to be VERY hard working since those days and have supported the food bank as well as poor individuals during that time. My point is that if EVERYONE that can afford to have a little bit to help someone else out, the amount of extreme poverty would be eliminated. It’s not that unrealistic to say that either. Considering one guy in New York rents a room for his family for $35 a month, me or someone else like me could easily pay that and then he can focus his resources on food instead. God help us though. The poorest people seem to give the most. God forbid a middle class or even rich person give up $35 a month to help another. That half a tank of gas or a movie and snacks for one. I’m currently unemployed and receive a very small amount of assistance each month. I was actually able to buy $60 in groceries a week ago. There was a poor Muslim lady outside asking for food. I gave her a bag full of my food because I know when I run it this week, my parents and friends will help me with no questions asked. She has kids but was still trying to refuse the bananas and pudding I was giving her because she didn’t want MY daughter to do without. I insisted anyways. Such a small sacrifice but it made such a huge difference to her. The re-distribution of wealth, even a tiny fraction of it can change lives for the better. Side note, the beggars who sit outside the liquor store and beg for change piss me off. I always offer them food, granola bars or cookies that I keep in my car. If they refuse, FUCK them. They’re looking for whatever their next high is, whether alcohol or drugs. And most of the time they do. Several 25-35 year olds do this, and there’s no reason they can’t work. If you’re that sick, get your fix, work for a few hours and earn enough to get high AND buy some food. If I asked any of the liquor store beggers to come to my house and cut the grass or shovel the walk in exchange for a meal and $10, theyd swear at me. Anyways sorry for the rant. God bless you all.

This is so sad This speaks to my soul because I grew up in the Eastlands of Nairobi. My case wasn’t as severe as Ochieng’s but we still had to survive in the slums of Nairobi. My dream is to go back home and create a non profit to help people add value in their lives, whether by education, skills etc..

We take a lot for granted
Joel Ahmed
DW. Thank you for creating such informative documentary. Keep up the good work.
Helen Fein
Very good story DW. In Kenya they could pick up food from stores and shops to redistribute it. They could build a trash sorting business and employ people. Jobs are becoming harder to find especially depending on a person’s age. Everything is going up in the U.S. Catching up is part of the struggle. I collected cans in Brooklyn for a little while. I got outside everyday rain,sleet or snow and made some decent change.

I really liked the brother from New York. He is very smart, wise and truthful. He has a beautiful soul. I wish I could somehow be a blessing to him. He would do good things with things he was blessed with. May God richly bless that man.

kaosmonger73
Great documentary.Be thankful.We gotta work together but some need to be hold accountable for this madness.
MeliMeli66
Watching this video reminded me of how far I have come and how thankful I should be. I used to be poor in a third world country but sometimes I get so caught up complaining about my job and other dumb stuff in life such as not having as large a back yard as my neighbors so that my kids can run around and play that I forget about the times I went to bed hungry. I feel for these people. I just don’t have enough for my family right now to be stable so it is hard to donate.
Seo Yeon Jang
It’s sad to see how these people started off differently and therefore ended up differently as well. This also tells us that our financial situation don’t speak or tell anything about how wise and righteous we are as people. Big respect for the man who collects trash!
Nickson Bokello
We are based in Kenya.We will try looking for kelvin to donate something for his family.May his efforts be rewarded.

Jesus!. This is so sad to watch. I can’t believe this is my country. Thank you DW for highlighting society unfortunate inequalities

God bless that beautiful man who recycles bottles at 4am. Very wise man.
Kyee71
Another outstanding and informative DW Documentary, countries who invest more into their populations education should be rewarded for it and get very low interest rates with longer extensions in paying it back when they borrow money from the world monetary fund. Double the price of recycled materials 5 cents for a can, no lets try 10, the people that collect these materials usually spend their money straight away, which goes straight back into their economies. a win win for both sides.
Legion
Man goes out and recycles cans and bottles and makes $75 a day…he’s not a bum
Sonny Featherland
Throughout these years I have changed my mind completely. This man is so right saying people work to buy useless stuff. Who needs the newest phone every year if you have one that works? Who needs the newest TV if you have one which works perfectly? Even clothes. I‘ve looked at people who can’t get enough of accessories, clothes, new watches etc. Poor people are happy to have 2 shirts to wear and there we are buying products without giving it a thought if we really need them. When I am going to a mall I get mad at those advertisements everywhere, trying to force me to go in and buy all the crap things. I‘ve learned to just ignore all of this and not spending money. If I get the chance some day and I will be blessed with lots of money I will definitely come up with an idea to help poor people or people in need in general.
Jennifer Akinyi
Very informative documentary.the only people who can help themselves are the poor those who have made it out to go back and help just one person n start that cycle.

We live in a ‘consume to landfill’ culture and it also includes people. I lived and worked in Kenya for 3 years in the early 90s when the population was 25 million. It was just like in this video. There was an effort by the government to let people know that having 2 children should be the limit, but the population is now 50 million and any economic gains the country has made have not trickled down to the poorest of poor. Large families, multiple wives is still the culture.
Lance Beamon
This is real journalism.
Maggie E
15:00 As a New Yorker, I can testify that people throw out a lot of stuff that would blow your mind. The issue is that with limited space/ no car/ stairs a lot of people find it easier to just throw things away. I have seen pretty nice furniture on the side of the road but had to leave it because I had no way of transporting it.

Great Documentary, I see our Friend Ochide over there. We are really grateful you got a chance to tell our stories. Dandora to the world. 🇰🇪

I felt it when he said he does not want to be rich but wants rich people’s resources to provide better education ,healthcare … and also the comparison between the garbage collector in USA and Kenya is quite big you just can’t compare them they are incomparable.
dreyfus zola
Its hard, but, gotta see this to love what you got and the way you live. Maybe you are not happy with the life you have got, but, watching this, its a fact that perhaps a lot of people would like to have the life you got.
THE BIG Five!
I have seen filthy rich people in my life…. But not one come close to that of that old man. That man possesses a great deal of God given wisdom, and his desire for survival and the way he interprets all events surrounding his life is very unique. I owe him a big pat on the back.

Mind-blowing documentary, this fast speed society is driving everyone crazy, poor and rich. A bit of a critic, it feels is also kind of unequal not to put the names of both guys who collect trash, but just label the two economists speaking in the documentary.
Cynthia Arons
I have always asked that question. I try to help in the best way that I can. Some people claim to be a humanitarian, but their spending is unnecessary (ie: thousands of $ for one day dress, or jacket, or handbag). There is the same poverty in the Philippines.

our problems in Kenya are our own making. we know where the barrier to provision of infrastructure for the poor to better their lives is. we know who is standing in the way of progress. the same people hindering progress today have been lying to Kenyans since our parents were young. yet somehow we align ourselves behind them every election. every election we deny better leaders a chance and choose ignorant billionaires whose fathers (fake freedom fighters) are responsible for our problems to feed our tribal ego. 57 years after independence we are yet to learn that politicians no matter their tribe or political affiliation are collectively ignorant of our needs. not just in Kenya. all over Africa genuine leaders have stood out but citizens overlooked them to elect the same people who sell us out to the west either through corrupt utilization of African resources or irresponsible borrowing and playing puppets to western masters. I am afraid but we will sufferuntil we open our eyes to this fact.

Congratulations Ochieng’ in Kenya for an honest living. Yours is an amazing story. In a country with a budget of US DOLLARS $30B, the money can change a lot of lives. But sadly more than a quarter of it goes into pockets of ‘powerful’ individuals. We have graduates who cannot access jobs but are expected to pay education loans, and we still have to convince them that education is key. Many young people lucky to be employed are one paycheck away from poverty. The rich and upper class are getting richer and the poor are also getting poorer.

I can’t think of something very connected to this than Minimalism Documentary. I really believe that minimalism can have an impact in dealing issues that we will forever be struggling with, yet we must do something about it.

I’m reminded about a conversation that I had with my Step Aunt a few years ago. It was around the topic of helping the less fortunate, and I said something like “We should help those less fortunate we owe them that” The Step Aunt callously replied “Well I don’t know about owing the less fortunate with anything”. I’m kind of taking it out of context of what she said, but she clearly didn’t agree.

It’s amazing to see how trash is handled so differently around the world.
Dunning Kruger
The definition of being rich means having more stuff than other people. In order to have more stuff, you need to protect that stuff with surveillance systems, guards, police, court systems and so forth. All of those sombre-looking men in robes who call themselves judges are just sentinels whose job it is to convince you that this very silly system in which we give Paris Hilton as much as she wants while others go hungry is good and natural and right. The state can legitimately use force to impose its will and, increasingly, so can the rich. Take away that facility and societies will begin to equalize.

Freddy Farris
I really enjoyed this short documentary. You get to see that that person picking through garbage has a personality, along with the man looking for recyclables in garbage cans. I know some people well-off financially like to think that if someone doesn’t have what they have it is because they are lazy or don’t work as hard, which is often not accurate. For example, many in Kenya simply do not have the opportunities that others have, and so it doesn’t matter how hard they work or what talents they have, they are going to struggle to get by. The gentleman collecting recyclables in New York City seemed quite charismatic and insightful, and so I wonder why he struggles like he does; perhaps he has an illness or some other issue that makes it hard for him, who knows. What was the number, something like 90% or higher of the world’s wealth is in the hands of 1% of the population? What this tells me is that the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, standard economic realities. There are simply not enough people willing to lower their standard of living so that others can modestly bring theirs up. The guy in Kenya with the small home has to work very hard, maybe even 7 days a week to get by, and by doing a dangerous job without even proper hand protection. Sadly, I firmly believe that unless God steps in we will always have poverty with us.

I always feel terrible that international cameras only roll in my country, Kenya, when the issues of poverty, garbage and slums are mentioned. And it’s not education, most of us are very educated actually, I just think it’s because of bad and corrupt leadership; leaders that don’t have the common person at heart. May God turns things around in my country, Kenya, Inshallah.

Had a very tough time watching through; what is more dreadful is the feeling of being helpless and clueless about what an individual like me can do about this. Are we just going to rest watching these documentaries in the comfort of our homes and be content with being sad?! For a lot of us, daily life is indeed a huge struggle; but its evident that we are living in luxury when we catch a glimpse of what is going on with the lives of people in trash. I personally feel very conflicted. There is just so much poverty around, just so much that we are often blinded to that part of the society.

Byrd'z Journey
This is sad. It’s crazy how this is happening to so many families that want to have a Small family business. Me and my family of four are homeless at the time living with our client/family member. We’re blessed, how ever It’s so hard to not feel like a burden to him everyday that passes. I do cook, clean and help around the apartment and and buy our own food and things we need but it’s still hard to save fast enough to get our own. Our kids are home schooled and always with us, so it’s hard to not feel like we’re always around. We’ve been on our own at age 18 and 22 renting and payimg rent for others just to tell us how to live just because it’s their property, but it’s my money!?but they don’t see that. Plus living around a Community of ppl who can care less about you and your family and community as well. It’s really sad. We just want to find peace and quiet. We can careless what size our home is a bird nest is just perfect as long as we’re together. We are looking to buy a bus for something cheap that we can fix up because I feel we’re out wearing our welcome and can’t afford to loose our only income. All because of our living situation. Praying I know God is good all the time. We have come to a point in life where we see life as to short for everything to be about money. We want to just see the world God blessed us with and help others along the way. We’re all enslaved to something I’m choosing my family thank u very much! Now at 31 & 36 all I want for my birthday is a bus lol. November 4 th I’ll be 32. Off grid here we come I pray in the next few weeks we have our own Byrd’s Nest! 😍😍😍😍 God Bless All 💞 hope all your dreams come true. Praying for u too. We’re thinking about vlogging our bus journey. Or rv whatever God blesses us with.

Someone told me: People in poverty cant elevate themselves because they get used to their bleak environment and adapt accordingly. They carry on living the way they are, accept it, since they dont know what privileges there are living in 1st world. In the end, its very difficult to better themselves because their minds are always in survival mode.

Guess what! Having compassion is free! When is the last time you took the time to show compassion to another person or an animal? It feels good to help, to give and to see the changes no matter what size. Having compassion for others is sadly something some people don’t ever feel or allow themselves to feel. Help! Show you care! If you have time to sit on candy crush for 2-3 hours a day, you could be spending that time helping others. Give your full attention when you talk to others. Listen and let them speak. When someone is talking to you, look at them and engage. Most of all, don’t ignore others and treat them equally. Sometimes people just need someone to listen or to help them a bit to get started again. Maybe they just need help figuring out how to do something or who to contact. Sometimes people just need you to notice them so they don’t feel so alone in the world.

I am from Nairobi, Kenya. The dump site is called “Dandora dump site” Its in Eastlands,Nairobi. Ross Kemp once visited the site and termed it The Filthiest Place on Earth 😂😂. Its kinda true. The irony is its a multi million business venture for Nairobi politicians especially The Governor. He has his cartels controlling the trash business. The dump site also acts like a hideout for the Nairobis Gaza Gangs. They run their operation and hide their ammunitions on that site.

J’accuse I am an economic migrant from Africa . I took the risk to cross the Sahara and the Mediterranean sea to join the WEST. This documentary made me cry and question US as Humans in a so-called modern advanced civilized society. Political and economic stability, coupled with efficient policy decision-making are key to achieving the sort of sustainable growth that will eventually lift people from poverty. For Africa to be competitive in the global economy, the best policies, strategies and practices must be carried by the best minds from the pool of young Africans willing to participate in the development process.

I’ve seen waaay too many people bring themselves out of poverty and it riches to believe one is ever “stuck”. 99.9% of the time the people will be poor no matter how much you help. You can set them up and months later they’re right back where they were in record time, having not paid one utility bill.

I agree with most of what was presented in this documentary, in terms of ending poverty. But please, if you’re poor you need to plan your family. Poor people need support from the society to plan when and how to have children. A very poor family should not have more than 3 children, it’s common sense.

I actually often pick up stuff thrown out and re-use it. In the western world it’s insane what people throw out – a bicycle with one fixable fault gets dumped, as do chairs that just need some paint and a hammer. It’s not about money either, I can afford new things.

” The poor can disrupt this system to the very core.” I’ve always said the poor need to organize. Why? Within their ranks are some astute minds like this man He may get a few people to listen to him and from that will come a movement. No need for Russia 1917 but what he have can stand improvement.

“lately , ive noticed more shopping malls being built than schools and childrens homes… they are investing more in shopping malls than homes , hospitals and schools…” and also I believe the whole point of being in power IS to help people , to create resources and environments and opportunities for assistance such as jobs , health care , education and infrastructure.

Neal Vaughn
Excellent mini-documentary. Ming-boggling even. Relative poverty is such an interesting topic. I believe that stat was you have to make less than about $1.90 a day to be classified as impoverished by WORLD standards. By American standards, some homeless people might be considered rich. Absolutely crazy to think about. The only beef I have with the documentary is the “fix the inequality” bias. I’m not saying it doesn’t need to be fixed or changed! I just know that the current, standard answer to this conundrum is Socialism and more government regulation. I feel that in the long run, that would make things worse. The 1% would then be MORE SO government bureaucrats than even now. So, how to fix the problem? I don’t know. Man is fallen and greedy. Changing the heart of man appears to be the ultimate answer.
Hughie Davies
The man who survived the rubbish tips and streets talking to the artist with his nice apartment is so humble and has so much humility, he should be in a position where he is being paid for his knowledge of the streets and rubbish tips, he makes a lot of sense and his soul and outlook is still kind and genuine. He should be a spokesman for the poor and dispossessed. Not sure about the artist though, he looks like he is doing well out of making art from rubbish.

We used to live in small communities. We used to be less in population. Every person mattered more in the past. But now the more we are, the less we see each other. So I believe we won’t care for others in the future. I don’t know how much we care now.

I never ever feel ungrateful for the roof over my head, to be able to go and buy nice fresh food, and to have my health. My daughter, she is 20yrs old now. I’ll never forget when she was 11yrs old and went shopping in the supermarket with me. All of a sudden she looked st all of the different varieties of food we get to choose from and are able to afford. She was very sad and humbled that we can have this when so many people in the world can’t. My baby girl grew up that day. She hasn’t stopped caring.

I think its a natural reaction, people who are rich are foraging to get even richer on a personal level but also on a international level, that’s the way to survive ingrained in our nature, the root cause of inequality in my opinion. The worse the majority gets the more protective the upper class gets a self fulfilling proficiency. But maybe the idea can grow that we don’t need more and more to be able to survive, but less and less. We need to breath, we need to eat and drink, but also to love, a place to rest, a place to feel save. That’s not alot to ask or to be able to provide. Some will have to give and that goes against that nature but is in everyone’s best interest. The way to survive is by supporting our surroundings and community. The way things are going now cannot sustain itself. We are asking to change our nature, no easy task but we humans have the power to be able to. I like to believe and contribute in that.
AK Man
It’s gone because of government. My friend is rich. He employs 17 people. Because he is rich. He is able to bring 17 people out of poverty into a middle class.

“As soon as you take it out of the box, they’re obsolete” That’s the wisest peraphrasing I’ve heard in a while. They are tons of stuff out there which are literally not worth a third of its market value. On the topic: People are rich for a reason and people are poor for a reason and that’s not gonna change, simple as that. In order to acomplish something, you must give something back. Change your mindset, the rest will follow. However, it will change you and your origins but it raises up your chances of stepping onto the road of success. Therefore, you are going to learn something very important and that is self-preservation, discipline and risk-assessment management.

This is why half of me wants to avoid watching documentaries that portray what real life is like for billions of people.. I’m here slightly agitated because I have to enjoy a peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwich instead of my usual liver and fava beans. I will go to Africa one day and do what I can to help but it worries because of their hunger. I know people in a state of ravenous hunger will do anything at all if it means surviving one more day. If they see a wealthy foreigner stumbling by, even with good intentions, who’s to say I won’t be murdered with a good heart.

Always help others. Never look down on anyone. Give love, you don’t know peoples back stories. Help others even if its 1$ even if they choose to spend it on drugs. Just spread love and be kind. Especially if you have never experienced something like this. Please help each other and pray and ask others to pray.

Count your blessings ppl. I’m so blessed to have been born in America. I dnt think the rich are responsible for the poor. Its not their responsibility. It’s the ppl who run the country. Some are born with a silver spoon. Some just work hard and take advantage of opportunities. Some dont have those opportunities.

27 seconds in and the answer: There is BANK in poverty. Not for those experiencing it but for those who gain off of the poor with the problems they create for the poor.

I have the answer to the first guy’s question; because the rich love getting richer, and they can taste their future wealth. What they have is never enough, so they don’t see it as having any extra to give to those poorer. It’s human nature to be greedy. It’s probably how humans survived in the first place – always wanting more, never being satisfied with the status quo. What he’s talking about sounds like socialism.

I am middle class halfway to upper class, I don’t understand how it feels to be poor. I don’t understand being homeless. But I do know that people need to help and give money, this isn’t fair.

What’s really infuriates me as a Kenyan is that during elections campaign politicians come to these places to say something completely self-serving while giving handouts, and the very people complaining vote for them. Frankly, a good majority of the Kenyan voter is ignorant and tribal. Makes me sick to my stomach.

The only time I would look down at someone is if I was helping them up, never judge a person you don’t know what life they have had, and I disagree with people views on rich people, why should someone that has worked very hard for their money to just give it away I don’t think so, and money does not mean you are greedy, if you want what other person has, then work for it. 👌👍

I have been homeless I haven’t had a life like what I’ve seen in this video but I have been homeless I am no longer homeless I have a fairly good life but I am one paycheck away from being homeless or totally devastating my world. This is hard to watch even from my background this is hard to watch but it’s something that does not get enough attention. I think as a human race there’s enough resources in this world that no one should have to live the way people live in this video and it’s crazy to see that people in this video are more optimistic then most people I meet on a daily basis you are nowhere near living the way these people are living I have so much to say about what I’m saying in this video
Hey Yo
I’m from middle class and I think the biggest misunderstanding here is that in the united states, only 1% of the rich population stays rich but the rest of the 99%, they move quiet fairly. My uncle came to the united states about 25 years ago. He started cleaning restaurants and years and years of hard work enable him to establish his own company. United Stated is the most beautiful country because people can get what they deserve. PS. Socialism creats equality of poor(Search which country succeed with socialism) Captialism is the only system that helps the poor and infact, help more poor people to be in middle class

I’m not blaming the poor for being poor, I’m just trying to wrap my head around some of this misery. I realize some of things are out of people’s control and not everyone is having children by choice in this situation, but for those that are, why on earth to they keep having babies when they know their lives are going to be like this? I don’t get the decision to bring children into this. I now rich people now choosing not to breed because they don’t like how things are going.

I like how they show a liberal city then say the solution to fix the problems there are more liberal policies. Texas has no state tax and little regulation yet the cost of living here is significantly better than New York and LA. The reason poverty is so bad in those cities is because companies have to pay so much in tax and deal with so much bureaucracy that no money is left to invest to create new jobs while smaller businesses leave for cheaper states. These issues can be fixed if people actually researched economics and understood why coupling high taxes with increased regulation causes the problems this video talks about. Even Nordic countries that US Socialists love so much have barely any regulation to balance the high taxes.

Jean Gedeon
Very good video. However the issues are much more complex than what is being presented here and would take many more videos to address. The first issue is that income inequality and access to wealth varies from country to country. I live in the United States(which has much greater access) and have been very poor but am now quite frankly very well off. I will be at UHNWI status before this year is out. People don’t want to hear the truth but the fact is that over 60million babies in the USA alone have been aborted. If one can not see this as the ultimate form of inequality then more soul searching is needed. It is simply the living telling the unborn that sorry but you have no right to join the rest of the living. No matter how you choose to spin the issue… the living are telling the unborn you can not live with the rest of us. This is inequality!! The next point is this. From the promises of Stalin, Chairman Mao, Castro, Hugo Chavez etc the message is always the same. Give us( the government) more power and we will feed you. clothe you and make everyone equal. There is no way any government can make a man use his God- given brain and will to prosper. The USA now spends so much money on education but many of the kids drop out and are not motivated to prosper. I have visited several other countries and know what real poverty looks like. To compare poverty in the USA to places around the world is immoral and those who do so have an agenda they are attempting to implement. In any big city in the USA you can beyond all doubt live off the street and be living better than most people around the world. I have done so and so have many others who are now back in the so called high life again.

Wanting life to be fair will lead to disappointment. Wake up and work hard. I am a garbage collector in Kenya, I have employed 100 people. Didn’t start with much just 180 dollars. Both me and Ochieng are in the same industry you have to be smart. Not just imagine the rich will give you money. We just have to work not expect shelters to be made. Life is tough for all of us. Free things are not sustainable. If the poor middle class don’t go to work in terms of rebellion they won’t eat the next month. 🤷 Poverty is to be escaped not to be treated as something good or makes you a better human. The person who doesn’t work should not eat.

In the 1950s, a typical CEO in America made 20 times the salary of his or her average worker. in 2018 the CEO pay at an S&P 500 Index firm was about 361 times more than the average worker. Is this really the sign of a fair society?! Seems feudalism is making a comeback pretty soon if the same trend continues.

“People who look down on canners… I think a lot of them have a surprise waiting for them down the road… they themselves are a paycheck away from homelessness”. This is some of the realest shit I’ve ever heard. True words coming from someone who’s life changed simply by losing his job. His statement applies to the majority of people including the judgemental. Most jobs are like that old saying we hear from time to time “here today, gone tomorrow”.

The vicious circle of poverty need to be broken
Mercantilism
Do they deserve to be poor? Are they poor because they didn’t put efforts on anything and/or are lazy? In my understanding, the rich are wealthy because they have put lots of efforts and risk their lives. A friend of mine earns $200,000/year. He pays half of his annual income for the income tax and $8,000 for the property tax (he owned a house). He grew up in a poor family. He used to go fishing with his dad to get a meal for that day. He studied hard and got the current position at his work. I understand some of the poor grew up in a harsh environment and didn’t have chance to educate themselves, but for those who have opportunities, I feel something wrong with criticizing the rich. Many of rich people have paid or paid efforts to be wealthy. I’m not denouncing the poor. I just want to know why they are poor and if they didn’t have chance to get out of poverty. I would appreciate any comments to my post. Sorry for my bad English and the long paragraph.

The rich do help through charities, a single individual in these conditions may not see the impact simply because there is so many in poverty. There is the vast number of private and public programmes in place specifically for this purpose. In many countries, this kind of living condition is as a result of inadequate planning and the distribution of the public funds, lacking robust educational concessions, social responsibilities, and values. Wealth is a social concept, not a prescriptive human condition. I am confident however that collectively we can completely eradicate this from our human experience in the near future.
Feckham123
With all due respect Im not rich in anyway shape or form but if your gonna say “I go in the fridge and theres nothing there” then you have to ask yourself why that is the case. Its not a rich dudes fault that you dont have food in the fridge or money in the bank. People need to take more responsibility in their lives, and yes I know people are unable to chose their life etc but you choose to deal with it, there are many people who came up from rags to riches so there are no excuses. You chose that way of life. Its all in your head people.

I was waiting for the 1st person to blame someone with better resources than a person currently under employed, unemployed, homeless. What was not talked about were the circumstances and facts of each person’s situation. We are all accountable for the consequences of our choices and actions.When I make poor choices there are certain realities that arise from them. Is it the fault of someone not responsible for my decisions that I am in a bind? No. There are wealthy Democrats, Republicans, Communists, Libertarians, and every other political view. Rather than stealing from the wealthy to dole it out to less wealthy people until.everyone has exactly the same monetary status why not simply accept life is not.fair. You are responsible.for your own prosperity.Not happy with the.cost of housing? Use.your own resources to create housing with a monthly cost of $40 or less. Live by the sun. Use it for energy and free lights. Many core foods can be grown indoors with hydroponics. There are solutions that fit into your communal lifestyles without stealing from people who are not at direct fault for the state of your personal life.

Pierre Simmons the guy in NY has a such beautiful and wise spirit, plus he is an amazing musician . He is eloquent talented and emotionally intelligent which is something money can’t buy. The projects that help him and other economically disadvantaged people rediscover their value are a vital part of a healthy progressive society. We need Universal Basic Income, investment in Schools, hospitals, social care, resource centres and a community where the breadth of human value is recognised and empathetic resilient healthy smart citizens who can work to change this brutal inequality.

They need to add incentives for people who collect trash for a living. The way we recycle is chaotic and the reward is only offered on s few states. Each country should have some sort of system in place that capitalizes on the raw materials produced by recycling. They should be allowed to sell the bottles or at least work through a Collective that provides them with organization and support so they don’t have to worry about paying rent or for food. People like this don’t have to be homeless. With cooperation their role could be a valuable resource for recycled raw materials as well as a clean country which earns respect and attracts visitors. Instead it all gets ignored and garbage continues to pile up. People dig through it for food and because they have no other way to earn anything …. Look that African country can use these people to create a recycled paper and plastic products company. They would work for nothing. Build them some cheap housing. Drill a well, get them a doctor visit once a month and allow them to plant urban gardens to feed themselves (they already have the animals)

I still feel like the video has been manipulated:-) the situation is worse than what am seeing… This is a happy story to some people. At this stage and state, health insurance and pension is the least of the worries to such a person. And worst of all, their minds are settled in that, this is either a better option compared to another or this is the best deal I have for today (With regards from eating from the left overs.) The guy has no time to think about his family his brother or anyone else for that matter…
Hascolasdesas
This old man is probably the only person who says that he doesn’t want to ever be rich and I feel like I can believe him… This is a great documentary for sure. However, I think inequality is a mix of a lot of positive and negative things. On one hand, people get super rich by bringing value to the market (making life more comfortable, easy, modern, etc… ). And, on the other hand, people become poor by bringing a very unsignificant amount of value to the market and consuming the value brought by the rich. Consequently making those who are rich richer and of course those who are poor become poorer. The only thing I hope is that everyone gets a decent and comfortable life with little or no struggle. As for inequality, that’s never going to change because some people work hard to produce and some people work hard to consume. It’s as simple as that

Choose 1 single American movie (that works as an example for billons around the world) in which there’s an eating scene. Pay attention that, at least, half of the food in tha plates goes straight to the trash. It must be changed.

My boss is rich and I’m poor. Here’s the difference; he risked everything to start the business. For years, he wasn’t sure if he could keep the business running and he worked 80-90 hours a week with his OWN money on the line to make it happen. 15-20 years later, and he can finally relax a little, take some time off, afford a decent house, etc. People think it’s easy to get rich…it involves massive risks, dedication, focus, and time. If you worked as hard, as smart, with as much on the line, and you could finally relax after 20 years, I doubt you’d support socialism. A lot of people worked extremely hard and took extreme risks to earn that wealth. What they do with that is their issue; whether it be saving for their children, taking more risks to increase their wealth, or retiring at 50 doesn’t matter. They earned their right, and they can do whatever they want with it.

My god both those guy’s are awesome. Society is becoming more sociopathic like the guy said. Can there be an extra 2% tax raise on everyone’s income that can be given to those 2 dudes and they can share it out fairly among the poor. I’d trust them not to be greedy

The Middle class working should help the Poor. The Poor should help the other Poor. The welfare should give money to the orphans and the crippled family.

I’m so sick of hearing lower class say stuff like “the rich should use their money to pay for (fill in the blank)”. Their prolly rich cause they didn’t pay for (fill in the blank). I’m not rich, I’m prolly not even middle class but: I hate takeing a hand out, I hate excepting free things, I feel less like a man, and when I do make it and join middle or upper class I don’t want people telling me what I should spend my hard earned cash on.

US has a good number of drugs addicts living on streets. Mumbai’s streets are full of sewerages. brazil has the largest slum in the world with most of it’s population impoverished. Colombia, Mexico and US r full of gangsters.

Alex Hand
The higher up the food chain you are, the more difference you can make. If you make $20k/yr in the US, you are constantly fighting to keep a roof over your head. It’s always one paycheck away from the streets, even if you live in a studio apartment and have basic health insurance. If you make $20 million, you can buy and renovate a whole building in the city to make into affordable housing well under market rate. The middle class bears the heaviest burden but has the least to give to the people who don’t have anything. No one in the seven figure bracket wants to hear that they should be taxed more.
 
Two seconds in I’ve got to ask if they will make a distinction between inequality of outcome and inequality of opportunity.. let’s set back and see if this is racism of low standards

24:50 Laptop computers in their current form are quite old fashioned really, it would make more sense if when you buy a laptop you only buy a lapdock type device that whenever it needs upgrading it’s a simple procedure of swapping out the entire computer board module which would look something like a raspberry pi compute module because he is right, eventually a laptop will need wastefully prematurely replacing even though most of the components do not need replacing but you are forced to throw out the baby with the bathwater, it is such a better idea to use a lapdock with an interchangable computer module board, this would be cheaper, less wastful and you would have a faster more up to date computer.

inequality needs to be looked at in modern multicultural society being due to discrimination. it is not just starting point and luick and all that. the people who call themselves white enjoy colonial advantages and those amongest them poor as whites is about luck, poor decision making. others living amongst them as ex colonised r due to discrimination even if educated and those making it amongst the ethnic minorites r those who saw how the world lay and did not rely of and waiting to achieve equality but did their own thing..

one place to start reducing trash is on flights of less than 2 hours. Why people are not able to control their stomach for 2 hours?. If we omit drinks and snacks from these flights, we will reduce tons of trash every day. I can assure the airlines that they won’t lose a single passenger by adopting this policy. I never accept a drink or snack during flight.

“If there are poor people in this world, then why do they continue to have children for whom they can’t provide, and why do they cling to behaviors which have been shown to work against their own chances for self-improvement?” might have been a better lead-in question for this, don’t you think?  Or does having a few effete, liberal New Yorkers chat with a homeless man whom they’d ordinarily never deign to notice pass for constructive action now?  If working Kenyans have no avenues for climbing the economic ladder, is that the fault of the west, or is it more likely due to the collective actions of wealthy Kenyans?  If the only conclusions reached here are that ‘we need to declare war on the wealthy, or have a revolution’, then this was a waste of time…

Yes, poverty and the financial gap is unfortunate, but the generalizing statements these people are making are so absurd. 1) There are rich people who do help the poor 2) Some rich people prefer to donate money in other aspects like technology, and it’s their right. 3) Some rich people don’t want to donate. I’m personally not for that, but it’s their right. 4) Excuse me, but some poor people are poor because of themselves.

the problem is not everybody can be a CEO or manager, somebody has to work in restaurants and waste management, the bigger concern is pay rate and tax reductions for those with obstacles. those that work hard as these people in the video deserve to at least have a roof, food, electricity, clothing, running water, and health insurance. people that work hard and come home with almost nothing but stress deserve sympathy and a better life, those that willingly slack off and dope themselves though are exactly where they deserve to be until they get out their slump, and obviously people who are impaired and can not work should receive housing, food, and clothing. the inmates and criminals get these things and they do not deserve them, how the government evaluates people to make sure they are physically unable to work is up in the air though, many people are liars and lazy.

On the one hand, I find this report inspirational that people can still find a way to live despite such horrible odds in life. We have to have more solidarity amongst each other or this whole planet will go straight to hell. That said, I would like to see the other side of life for Black people. The media always portrays Black people as being poor and destitute and all of Africa as poor and destitute and this is not the case for everyone. I would like to see DW focus on rich Black millionaires in Atlanta, rich and powerful executives in Hollywood, Black doctors working in Germany and France, Black politicians in Washington, Black money managers and bankers in Toronto, Canada…..etc… I would like to see these stories instead of the usual media brain washing stories of “poor Black people”……..enough already!!!

Even in the Netherlands, where I grew up knowing that even the poorest people in the country have a safety net, the differences between rich and poor become bigger every year. Nothing perhaps compared to other countries, but it’s sad to see my country despite all its riches is not immune to it. Right wing parties have been at the top for years now and as a result social care falls away.

Then both Lazarus and the rich man died… (fast forward), Then the rich man told Abraham to tell Lazarus to go into the earth and warn his brothers. (Who were obviously rich) (.on other stories), Jesus says, “it will be harder for the rich to enter heaven.” Why did He say that? Well, as is required in the Kingdom of heaven, people need to share wealth with the poor and help the needy, but, billionaires and millionaires are busy gathering up that wealth for themselves and their families, overlooking Lazarus on the street daily. Lazarus looks dirty and beat up. They go to church and praise the Lord yet overlook people who need their help because they think they are better than the next person in tattered clothes. They have been taught by their father, the great deceiver, that other people are just lazy and need to work for their own, the same deceiver who put that spirit of laziness on the other person. They have been taught that they need to step on people to get what they want in life. Their wants fade when they die though. Because contentment never comes. Same devil who makes the poor man poor so he can curse God, also makes the rich arrogant so they wont help those in need.

We also have to see that the poor people mentally that the rich should some how subside the poor, it is also wrong. My dad came from a very poor background. He tells me that when he was hungry he would go to the trash to eat something. But my life is now nothing like my dads was before. and I believe the same of my kids. My kids will probably have more than me. The mentality should be to do more for your future offspring as a goal not only hope with no action.

If you are rich, give someone a hundred dollars or a used car. Not much, but it would matter. It would matter a lot. We have given money to the homeless because we knew what it was like to be homeless (my daughter and myself). If you are rich, it is your money and you don’t have to give anyone anything. So what if people in America work to buy stuff? So what? Rich people aren’t obligated to give away their money and you have no right to try and force them to. In America, there is food stamps and food banks and many sources of help. But trying to make people who have money feel like they are supposed to give people who don’t have that money their cash is pitiful. We help as we can, but no one has the right to TAKE away anyone elses livelihood just for their own personal comfort.

All I am saying is don’t judge, you do not know what the hell people have been through.

The new middle class is now considered poor and then you have the trash. This issues has always fascinated me. Some people legitimately work hard to reach success. And they earned it 100% so I don’t think those people should feel obligated to help. But ok the other hand, morally let’s hope they have a good heart.

Broke is one thing but poor is a mental state . 3rd world countries I understand the situation .

I have never lived off of people when I had money. I can not feel for people who mistreat you and than need your money to help their children now coming up .The people who cause you pain now need your riches to live off of . They call a Christian every bad name in the book accept a good person and when God ready to show them who they was messing with all that time . than Mercy is giving to them by the one that they have wrong. The word says it get measured back to you .God measured back .That why he say let veneages be his say the Lord of host. he will make your enemies your foot stool. He repaid the high priest who cause the pain of punishment that was done to Jesus who was sent among the lost sheep. He crack the foundation of their churches. That they would not use his name in van any more. Than he build the church under the covering of the faith in Jesus Christ who name stands for God is with us. God was a witiness to the pain and cries of the his people pain. for the word says touch not my aneiont and do my prophet no harm.

Hoarded wealth is not merely useless, it is a curse. EG White 1827-1915

It’s not as though the rich have taken wealth from the poor. Wealth is not a finite pie, wealth can be created – we saw that in this documentary with that artist who made a beautiful object from old cans – he, in effect, created an object of value out of nothing – he created wealth.
Rui Souza
It seems that we are dwelling with a sociopathic society, where just the privileged people can have the right to look at the future prosperously and enjoy it, while the majority of destitute people just observe the unfairness day by day with no perspective of a decent life. What a sad truth by this man 🙁

The main guy tries to give others advice while ignoring a few key aspects: – He’s most likely not paying any taxes, yet talks about equality – He’s a scavenger, no different than a rat. Talks about being free, while surviving on what others dispose of. – In a few years, when his health is going to decline, he’ll be fucked and yet again leech on society for support. – It is easy to say “let’s all not go to work and crash the system” when you’ve got nothing to lose. The only difference between him and the other guys rummaging through trash is that he’s in a developed country. Move him to a thirld world country and he’ll be starving in no time.

There is “NOTHING” wrong with ppl working hard to buy “stuff.” Ppl “work” to have things, their desire. Otherwise, ones would work only for “survival,” being bare necessities. Like the poor, working ppl could just stop working and scavage off the land as does many… “that is called SURVIVAL.”
Marksman
I understand being mad at the 1%, those who profit off the work of others, but people in the US who are lower, middle, hell even upper class to an extent definitely earn their keep, show me one poor person who isn’t terrible with money or hasn’t had kids they cannot realistically afford financially. Becoming wealthy is about obtaining skills that matter NOW, not yesterday, and saving what you earn and using what you’ve saved to intelligently make more with it. Poor people have like 4 kids and drug or alcohol or gambling etc issues, blow huge percentages of what they earn on wants, rarely better themselves skillwise or barely try at all then complain about people with more, when there’s millionaires who still eat and dress cheaply because accumulating wealth is a process of going without because buying things adds up. Adapt to the world around you or become a statistic liken to the dodo, the world will go on with or without you. Survival of the fittest.

Wealthy people can do whatever the hell they want with their money. Yes, it’s unfair but they also help too. They start businesses that middle class and poor people can work at, They donate money to charities. You can’t lump all rich people as evil, just like you can’t lump all poor, as good.

Some comments are pretty surprising. The wealthy Park Ave man who made beautiful art out of poor man’s hard work…how could he have helped? Perhaps offer him a free opportunity to make some of his own alum cans into basic artwork, letting him watch as he makes it, and off we go. Perhaps letting him play and sing at one of his openings and pay him; the guy has a pretty nice voice. It doesn’t take much. I don’t know if the artist did anything for that man; certainly they would’ve shown it…but why bring him up there, show the work, state twice about being wealthy, etc. and not offer him anything in return to give this kind, smart poor man a leg up? I’ve a hard time understanding it. In the US, the rich continue to make more profits since their lifetime tax break, while five-year crumbs were given to everyone else. Few raises, more cash for stockholders and layoffs… don’t say they earn it. Statistics show that for every $20 an hour an employee makes, a company makes $200/hour of wealth. Does that sound earned and justified? Just how much money does a billionaire need? Other reports show it doesn’t take much to help; gather a group of your rich friends, create a center for training and donations…like pennies in their pockets…or pay fair wages to workers who make the company profitable, non-existent if they weren’t there. There’s plenty of other ideas that won’t put a dent in the pockets of the wealthy. They choose instead to create a gigantic dent in the pockets of workers and people in this doc. Heartbreaking to watch, especially if alone w/only disability income and you can do little to help…like me, but at least I do without so I can give something back when able. Take it from me, bad luck can affect anyone. God bless you.

This is extremely one-sided. People who happen to be more successful than others are not necessarily indebted to those who are less successful in life. This documentary simply focused on the extreme impoverished due to a number or reasons not really discussed. People who have money are not necessarily bad, dishonest, lazy, selfish, or corrupted. I wish poor people were more often able to see things from the other side of the spectrum.

“Why don’t the rich people just give the poor people money?” If you fund poverty you’ll keep getting more of it, that’s why. Nobody likes to see people starving and living like this. But yet the poor just keep bringing more kids into this world. Where’s the personal accountability? People wonder why there are so many impoverished people, well look where birth rates are highest. Sadly the problem isn’t going away anytime soon.

:11 Because whenever the majority of poor people are “helped” they begin to expect to be helped & don’t bother helping themselves while waiting on “help”. 2:31 So not only is he himself beyond poor, he went & had a kid to make him SUPER poor… What a great idea there HOW TO CATCH WILD PIGS You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat; you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity

Socialism works at a family level. After that, Socialism by Government eventually kills everything it touches. The rich/poor disparity paradigm – whether by design or not is a product of many more factors than just people being rich, or getting rich and not caring for the poor.
Herb Ages
Material wealth is not the purpose of most of us being born and living for a brief moment of time here on this planet. This worlds mortal pursuit of wealth is not the purpose of all people, there are many other purposes and they are all different. Focusing on this worlds mono ideal of material wealth, drawn into it and being absorbed by it is distraction for most, it adds nothing to what we are, rather it takes away and vear us off our divine purpose and universal course greatly. We can exist and go on living without most of it very comfortable and much more healthier.

These are different cultures with different standards of poverty. Although we see the lowest of the low [ eating trash in unsanitary conditions]. America poverty is another country middle class [ taking state subsidies in consideration]. The guy recycling cans, making $75 a day. Is the mindset lacking in the poverty area, ambition/work ethic and innovation! This may seem morally wrong, but unfortunately the lagging society massively reproduce instead of dying off. Ok… Being that they’re not dying off, human compassion is innate in most cases and uncooperative behavior should go un-rewarded, with these two in mind -no… No one that work hard to accelerate in society should help the “less fortunate”, and if crime wasn’t directly correlated with us blacks in low income areas things would be different for us. Change the behavior in the populous to alter the perception and maybe they’ll be more compassion to reward good behavior! But i honestly think people will complain REGARDLESS. Envy….

A lot of the problem with poverty in the U.S. is hyperinflation and having the manufacturing base outsourced overseas. There was a time in this country that people could go to work in a factory, end up buying a home and raising a family. In the U.S we do not need any more Lawyers or such. We need real jobs for the working class. Kenya does look like a beautiful country. However, the hope for most African countries is to adopt Western practices. Most of these countries were prosperous colonies from Great Britain. There were some injustices with colonialism, however, the Africans have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. The hope for countries like Kenya is to adopt European practices in business, culture and the like,: with this, their country will improve.

Talk to a guy who collected trash. His base salary was $40.00 a hour in the US. He work the night shaft. Too bad about the guys in the poor countries. One reason is that they have a growing population verses those in the rich countries, where two maybe 3 children are a norm. Then you have the education where those in power send their children to the better schools where after their education enter the government offices. There is a trillion dollar illegal drug problem going on in the US while percentage live in squalor many do not touch drugs. Many do not have children instead they have cats or dogs.

Here is something people are missing. So one of the first guys says I am no longer alone now, has a wife and child. So he ended up having getting a wife then having a child meaning he has to earn more and become even poorer when he was apparently struggling before that. Poorer people have more children putting more strain on money = more problems. I don’t really have any sympathy for them because of the choice they made.

People get so angry with the rich when the rich sacrifice so much to be where there are today. And the poor expect them to give them what they shed blood sweat and tears for. How does this mentality even exist? There were times when I needed and instead of asking and expecting, I worked as hard and as smart as the rich did… and you’re in a situation where you don’t have food yet you bring a child into this world to suffer the same life as you. People need to stop taking having a child for a joke. It’s a life that you’re bringing into the world. Only do it when you know you have a platform for them to work from! We don’t live in the Stone Age anymore! We have choice, education and contraceptives when coming to sex
O S
Hey buddy, if you didn’t have a daughter she wouldn’t be climbing garbage mountains. Neither would her daughter and her granddaughter. But since you think having a child is a right and not a privilege you get to continue the cycle of poverty. The rich do a lot that’s wrong, but the poor are not blameless either.

Informative video – As I see it I believe the well-to-do/wealthy Nations that colonized Africa failed to invest in the countries they took from by helping the people to develop infrastructure and instill values, but most important to set-up medical & preventive measure to control birth or human population. The main problems are we humans continue to over-populate our planet.  Resources are limited and population control helps to stop poverty…  poor people must be taught this way of life and change, this will help.

Millions of Africans being homeless and sleeping on trash and even near a dirty water… I saw a documentary about India and oh gosh I nearly cried, people buried on street and they got no public toilets and people shitting on the streets, am like what is the jobs of president and prime ministers in Africa??? Can Africa be better?? I don’t think so!! , poor people are killing people to be rich, some joining occults and doing extremely dangerous things to be rich cuz of the poverty in the country. If England and other European or american country doesn’t take care of their land and country, it will end up like Africa!! Now everyone wanna move to Europe cuz they think Europe is HEAVEN!!!!

Why do those that have more owe me anything unless they got that by taking from me. Work hard and with luck or blessings from so god you will succeed. Some do some don’t. I’m not going to blame anyone for me not having anything. I didn’t go to school. I didn’t learn a trade. So I as an adult have very little. It is on me and not anyone else. I am very thankful to those that provide me free meals but they really owe me nothing just because thy have more. Must be the white mans fault that this has happened to me. If I can blame anyone else than I can be a victim.

I’m 68, well educated (2 degrees), worked in IT as a Systems Engineer for many years. Thought I had managed to educate myself well enough and worked hard enough that I could retire if not overly comfortable than at least secure. Wrong. Now retired I still have to work. So many things that I want to do, simple things, create, cook for friends, slow walks to drink in a beautiful, they are impossible when you come home tired and cooking for yourself becomes an unpleasant chore. And wouldn’t you know it I got all the A+ genes in the family. I will live far longer than I desire. And no I’m not going to off myself.

Sad but true the reason some rich don’t care about the poor is what’s called compassion fatigue…best cure …in a perfect world is stop having so many babies when you can barely feed yourself…use birth control…we have deserts here in u.s. yet you don’t see people flocking there to live…go where the food grows…nothing grows in sand…r.i.p.

There is so much wrong with this documentary I don’t know where to start. The economy works the way it does because of people’s choices and the lack of leadership in all levels of society. Inequality is not the problem, socialism is the problem. We need to embrace hierarchy, but it does need to be tweaked.

Capitalism root of all evil ! My heart aches for everyone who are struggling to feed themselves to keep a roof over their head. Developing countries are also falling into the same trap, consumerism – hollow societies are dominating the earth. How do we as a human race pull ourselves out of this rat race ? Is life all about money, stuff and power ? we have forgotten the essence of life, what it means to live….

Inequality is part of nature, Poverty is not, poverty is part of ignorance. Don´t blame it on rich people, thats ignorant, Before they existed we all were poor, and the world was a lot worse.
Clovis de Cruz
Very intelligent documentary.
ArthursHD
We need to figure out a way on how to help out the poor ragpickers in the poorest countries by getting them access to the internet, teaching them English through an app like Duolingo, And accounting or anything else that can be done remotely and safely. And we need to pay for their service. It would mean that people from poorest nations would improve living conditions as well as lowering the cost of doing business locally. Competition would push the prices down and locally we would be able to afford more as well, therefore, equalizing wealth distribution.

South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore were very poor countries 50 years ago. China was very poor 35 years ago. Isn’t there any lesson we can learn from these spectacular examples? I think every single society holds a lesson either of failure or success. It is up to us to profit from them. Massive experiments to suppress inequality are quite fresh, are we ready for another one when we are celebrating 100 years of the “triumph” of communism?

Why can’t we take a small portion of tax money that we give the government to help reshape our economy and reduce our poverty by investing it in public housing for those less fortunate. The deal would be we supply them with that meet or exceed the overall cost of becoming homeless. There are people out there who just need a little help to make there lives better

The doc left in a comment about the global inequality gap and how large it is. Is the ideal that a kenyan can make 75$USD a day sorting garbage like their New York City peer? Or that no one can make 75$USD a day sorting garbage? Another interesting thing the edit left in, and maybe more the point was the Kenyan’s yearning for goods. Holding those in possession of said goods as being in a higher societal “class” than him. While the New York City 75$ USD a day dude with not only education and health, but also the very important societal dignity through engagement via economic activity, in this case collecting and sorting waste. A task being seen more and more as a civic duty to the “well being of Earth”. I see he was wearing some fancy looking healthcare back pain relief aid too, for the point of suggesting his health is “good”. Both danced and laughed, spoke of hard work. One looked to feed the “wolves of consumption”, and was discouraged by the “unfairness” of inequality. The other called it a game, and criticized it as “some kind of madness” 24:40. One was in his 20’s, one was 65. Struggling to eat and feed the fam is an issue; and imo encourages a disheartened philosophical view of “life”. Yes one shouldn’t need to work in unhealthy circumstances to earn money for food, nor should one feel that ownership of goods is the measure for classifying humans on a scale of “worth”. The Kenyan needs to “aspire” less towards “the mall and its wares”, and more towards a solution to fix the working conditions for those sorting waste in Kenya… I don’t know if either of the two people are performing work they are most proficient in…I do know if they haven’t been given the basic foundation of education and holistic health for them the game was fixed from the start. From Nigeria to Ghana to Kenya or South Africa…the clothes! so new and fashionable. ugh…

Well, maybe those selfish rich people will become extremely poor in another life. It’s a vicious cycle it will only end when we’ll all learn to become generous. Let’s don’t wait until we become rich to help others. Let’s learn to help now when we can.
lorainefrancesv
people who create documentaries about people should have to live in communities and befriend those they want to help. immigrants and/or welfare recipients are a huge contributor when it comes to waste and outnumber the rich. it’s a fact that in these communities people consume more fast food, prepackaged food, leave or abandon unwanted furniture and large appliances in alleyways, sidewalks, underneath bridges, empty lots, train tracks, etc… buying from dollar stores and swap markets products hold little value more likely tossed out sooner, and of course having more children contributes to the amount of waste made and resources needed.
Leo
And yet, some have the courage to say poor people are poor because they are lazy. I think it’s those who say this the lazy ones. They have lazy heads, don’t want to think, they want to remain on their comfort. Facing this reality will likely break that comfort, it will have to put you on the move, least you are not human.

It seems to me the black man in New York has some jealousy issues. People work hard to achieve what they have. I see nothing wrong with that. I have had been financially and materialistically abundant; I have lost it all and have been homeless. due to health issues because I am a disabled veteran. Being homeless is not good. I am no longer homeless; I have a small apartment(subsidized)I am going back to college to finish my education, pursue employment, and make my life better. I feel blessed to live in a country where such opportunities are available to better my life. I am determined to never be homeless again. I see absolutely nothing wrong with aiming high and working to accomplish your dreams.

Being judgmental isn’t a choice or a decision we make, It’s a natural human instinct. When I hear people say they like another person because they don’t judge them, I say WRONG…..they do judge you. They just don’t show it. Judging people is just natural. The very first thing we do when we meet a person for the first time is JUDGE THEM. We might not show it but we do. I mean how else do we separate people from our close friend circle?? WE JUDGE!! How else do you decide who are friends are?? WE JUDGE.

Inequality is the child of capitalism. Capitalist governments want to have this gap between rich and poor so they can rule and exercise power. The gentleman said about poor and working class people coming together so they can bring change in the society. Yes it is absolutely true, but the issue is the majority of people might not even notice that how they are trapped into fulfilling the greed of capitalist people. They just buy and buy and buy filling the rich people’s pocket more and more, while most of the shoppings is unnecessary!

In the developed world democracy/capitalism is best but there has to be less control over government by special interest groups and wealthy people. People should not need license to do many non life threatening jobs (like beautician/hair cutters…). Almost all working people can afford to purchase stuff it is the services of fellow people that they cannot afford.

10 Big City, Slum Home Documentary

Back to menu

 

In première gegaan op 25 apr 2022

The documentary will be set for release ahead of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPAH) in May. The Director and Producer duo Abhishek Bhatnagar and Abhishek Isaac are bringing the film to the international spotlight to highlight ‘‘life in the slums during a pandemic.”

The film centers around the Anna Nagar Slums of Delhi, where a teenage boy, Suehl, who spends his time playing under and over dark lanes and boiling drains, leads the viewers into shadowed streets of debilitated roofs. The documentary was filmed in 2020 when pandemic stricken India was under country-wide lockdown. The short film documented how the gulf between well-off Delhians and already marginalized dwellers of slums widened during the pandemic.

Abhishek Isaac, the producer of the short film, moved to America from India when he was 9. The short film is a candid picture of his foggy childhood visions when he used to play with his friends from the slums. The population of the slums is growing ever and it has reached 1.8 million – just in Delhi.

The documentary produced by Abhishek Isaac serves multiple purposes. As CEO of Media Mangy, a household name in PR and Media services, the documentary is a part of the contributions and impact of Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans to the chronicles, civil society, and attainments of the United States, whereas, on the other hand, it features a problem of world’s slums population that grows 2% annually.

In these modern times, the slum community is living under dire sanitary conditions and without electricity. On our habitable planet, they are living to inhabit ably. Although; the documentary films the sad reality of slum colonies but increasing literacy and decreased population growth, are encouraging factors to cheer on. Few NGOs and government officials are playing their better part, but ‘‘do more’’ is the word here.

Synopsis

The 2020 pandemic became one of the most memorable times affecting millions of people more so in developing nations. Yet, it had little effect on the cheery disposition of a teenage boy, Suhel, from squalid ghettos of Anna nagar Slum in Delhi. With a country wide lock down, Suhel and his friends spend time chasing cattle, watching trains pass by and earning money from selling scraps everyday. The children pass their days on the city debris and drains/gutters connected to the slums. The online classes by government schools bring a ray of hope in the lives of Suhel and his friends. Following Suhel through his day in the neighborhood, this documentary explores the deplorable plight of its residents deprived of the basic necessities and how they overcome their daily struggles with little care from the local government bodies.

 

Inside The World’s Biggest Slums (Documentary): Kibera, Neza, Dharavi & More

8 okt. 2019

A documentary looking at the world’s five biggest slums – what can residents do to improve in their lives?

Today 900 million people live in slums. That’s 1/4 of the world’s urban population. Take a tour of the world’s biggest slums:

– Kibera in Nairobi (Kenya)
– Neza (Mexico)
– Orangi Town in Karachi (Pakistan)
– Dharavi in Mumbai (India)
– Khayelitsha in Cape Town (South Africa)

Due to population growth and the migration from rural areas to cities, these slums are here to stay.

That’s why we work every day to rehabilitate slums around the world, turning unhealthy homes into safe, decent ones for the most vulnerable families.

This happen always, when people are not able to work for each other.. In Europe we are fine bcs huge part from our salaries (no metter how big salary is) we are sending on “social care”, “health care” and taxes to help others aroud us, which are unlocky in their lifes and to governmant to help them, to help us. In shortcut we get less money from our work but we are OK with.. In countries as Kenya or others, nobody care about other people.. nobody care if you are dying by starving = your problem, people just will surpass you.. And their biggest problem is – they are not able to listen anyone and their kids grow like firewood in the forest..

This documentary is more of an advert for potential donor funds than the reality I worked in kibera in 2019 and they defiantly have safe water for 90% of the residents through nairobi water and an organization called SHOFCO. Makes me question what adra’s real goal is here

I pray to the true living God Jesus Christ for this country and this city of Kibera.The masters of this world and the whole creation who carry the burden of us humans every day .JESUS Who is the water of life and the fountain of water because it is written John 4:13 13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” Abba I pray God also gave the water of life and also provided drinking water .Father God have mercy and remove poverty from this country because you are a God of abundance. Make the soil of this country fertile and clean, make the water of this country sweet, Father God, and remove all the curses on this country for the sake of your name. I ask this prayer in the name of Lord Jesus of the Nazareth Amen. shalom peace

They need to stand their water containers in something to catch the overflow.
Sly aka
There’s a history behind this… This area is called kibera and it was not mapped as a settlement by the city until recently. When you look at the map of Nairobi you won’t see any area names in this place that is why it was never included in the social amenities that are there in the rest of the city. The first president of Kenya provided the land to Nubian refugees from Sudan as a temporary settlement but they ended up staying for good. There are numerous attempts to upgrade the slum by the government but there are setbacks presented by the residents. They think they Will be charged more rent if the place is upgraded thus they end up rejecting the new houses and even some end up rioting when they see the government trucks and earth movers. There are some that were given the new houses but they rent them out and go back to the slum. When you have time check out kibera slum upgrade program on YouTube you will see what the govt is trying to do. Also they show the worst parts of a story like this since they are soliciting donations which majority never reach the people intended. The biggest lie in this video is when they say that people use sewerage water. I have been to charity drives to this place and nobody uses sewerage water.
Sly aka
Even if you are soliciting donations be truthful or at least get your facts right. There’s so much lies in the video

It should not take a pandemic for people to get clean drinking water!

If I had 10 billion dollars. I would use 2 billion to clean up and rebuild every single house and create a fresh water damn

There are slums larger than Kibera like Soweto in S. A and Makoko in Nigeria

poor hygiene – perhaps someone should explain to them the harmful effects of tossing garbage etc. everywhere –
GEOFFREY MWENDA KIRUGI
60% of city’s population lives in informal settlements….I am not saying that there is no poverty in nairobi but as happy as we are reporting kibera’s poverty do better research. In any society there are poor people and the government policies need to be pro people centered. the most appalling is that, Kibera’s population is majorly from one community showing how successive governments have continued economic inequality. We need as a society come together and hold our governments to account.

Actually kibra it is not biggest slum in Africa. Just a thought of western country. All slums in Nairobi are largest in Africa

Despite of severely poverty yet the people want more births to happen, what if people at least stop generating new birth.

I wonder what the president can say about this… with billions stashed away in foreign countries.. the pandora papers…. that cash can change the lives of all these people who live in all Kenyan slums. Education, health, water, infrastructure……

Why do these communities have piles of trash everywhere, they say that they are a proud people, but why not start by keeping your environment clean , it’s a good starting point to the next step up the ladder of life.

Nobody should have to pay for drinkable water or healthcare for that matter. There should not be third world countries in ‘22.

I’m so tired of this narrative of Kenya. Always the same story. They will never show you the beauty but always seem to find some slum. It is always the white man who comes and saves the day. So now people are dependent on clean water from ADRA. This story is getting old. Don’t you have something else to show? Stop depending on the west or your government. We need to do it ourselves. We’re not hopeless. We know that or else they wouldn’t be there.

Violet Njoki Sorenson
ADRA is busy tooting their own horn, thanks for the water…the people truly need it. However, it is not a life-time solution.Placing band-aids on an untreated wound does not allow the wound to heal properly, it leaves a scab and a scar. Kibera has been Kibera since I can remember and things have not changed but have gotten worse year over year.😠😠

How horrific, how sad! Soon all the sorrows we see on the earth will be a thing of the past. Very soon beautiful changes will take place on earth as it is in heaven, Matthew 6:9,10! God’s Kingdom is a heavenly government ruled by Jesus Christ as King. Soon Jesus will bring beautiful changes to the earth. There will be no more death, pain or sorrow on earth, Revelation 21:4,5! No more wickedness on earth, Psalm 37:9-11! After Armageddon the meek will inherit the earth and live forever on it, Psalm 37:29; Matthew 5:5; Proverbs 2:21,22! The earth will be cultivated into a Paradise like God intended in the beginning, Genesis 1:28; Isaiah 55:11! Jesus will do on a grand scale what he did when he walked the earth including raising those who are asleep in death, John 5:28,29! There will only be one government over the entire earth forever, Daniel 2:44! Jesus will make sure that God’s Will is done on earth as it is in heaven, will you be there to see it? John 4:22-24; John 17:3; Isaiah 42:8!

Why don’t they clean their selves up. Stop throwing your garbage in the streets and putting sewage in your water. I don’t feel bad for trash that don’t care about their kids and families. They like living like this or they would help their selves and clean stuff up.

Perhaps there is a evolutionary genetic explanation as to why they maintain societies like this?

Children of a Lesser God!” is a documentary that focuses on several key points:

  1. Justice and Conscience: The documentary explores the ethical and moral dilemmas surrounding the concepts of justice and conscience.

  2. Inequality and Social Issues: It sheds light on issues of inequality and social injustice faced by marginalized communities.

  3. Inspiring Individuals: The film likely profiles individuals like Osman Mukisa who embody resilience, compassion, and selflessness in the face of adversity.

  4. Global Perspective: It encourages viewers to reflect on global issues and their own privileges, fostering empathy and awareness.

  5. Impact and Reflection: Ultimately, “Children of a Lesser God!” aims to provoke thought and inspire action towards a more just and compassionate society.

These points highlight the documentary’s focus on social justice, human rights, and the power of individuals to make a positive impact in challenging circumstances.
