Margareth no longer has her hut, demolished by bulldozers on the eve of her wedding, and now she has to sleep out in the open…. “TV SLUM, small African directors” is a film entirely filmed by eight Nairobi street kids, the result of three months of work between the shanty towns of the Kenyan capital. A multitude of expressions looks into their shots to describe these epic street stories, denounce injustices and sing he joy of their existence. In the hands of the kids the camera represented isn’t only a means of knowledge and denounce, but it becomes an original.
