Shanty Town (1992x7)

Air date: Mar 01, 1992

There are half a million squatters in Davao City in the southern Philippines. For six weeks last year, film-maker John Goodyer recorded their struggles to lead a normal life below the poverty line. Rosa has turned half her house into a piggery; Loma fears her brother has died in a typhoon; while Bing Bing and Bobby gamble away their meagre earnings.
