Slumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire quickly became a very-much-liked movie for Debbie and me, as it is a very real portrayal of life on the other side.

Slums in India? Did you know that slums make up 25 to 40 % of urban population in India? The movie brings out the harsh and difficult life within slums: the narrow streets, lack of health and hygiene, tin roofs, open sewerage, garbage heaps. In Calcutta this year Debbie and I saw dozens of people taking their daily shower on the side walks. They had no running water of their own.
