A Father's Wish from Adam & Matt Costanza on Vimeo.
From the movie Welcome to Mathare:
Adam and Matt Costanza shot footage in what the United Nations describes as the most brutal slum in Africa. Working with a local youth group called Mathare Roots, they captured never before seen footage of hope and struggle – all in 10 days on a $10,000 budget.
When you watch this film, you will be transported to Mathare, Kenya for 40 minutes. Witness how people live with only 8 sources of clean water for three quarters of a million people. Learn about the illegal alcohol called Changa’a, which has never been documented in such detail before. Changa’a underpins the fabric of life in Mathare. While this industry allows some families to eek out $2 a day in wages and send children to school, it is a fundamental source of brutality, strife, rape, and death.
Witness, too, the unlikely abundance of hope in Mathare. About half of the children here die before the age of 20, yet every child smiles and laughs as strong as any in the world.
