The Slum is human film of the highest order.

Produced in six parts by


Al Jazeera, is an epic document of living conditions within one of the
world’s poorest countries in the world. This film allows us to experience the
totality of what it means to live in an environment riddled with great
struggle, abject poverty, rising crime, and faltering opportunity.
In the Episode 4 covers the region’s election cycle. As storm season
passes, a disturbance of a different sort comes to town. Politicians can’t
afford to ignore the slums during this time simply due to the total number of
potential voters who reside there. Some of them even pay for votes. Like in
Tondo they really reveal and presents the world of the said People and
their everyday struggles regarding overcrowding.
What this documentary film really talks is that we need change in this
country. One case of the change we needed is with regards to our
Population which, based on what I saw on the film is one of the major
residents of the harsh environment in the slums. This widespread
overcrowding gives rise to Crimes in the slums like stealing and drug
trafficking, food inadequacy, unhealthy Economic and business
competitions, and even the buying of votes for the sake of money for living.
The conclusion of the series continues on this note of hope as we
track the efforts of those who work to achieve their dreams. They are every
man, woman and child profiled in The Slum is evidence to the resilience of
the human spirit.
