Description

One wrong turn can take you into a neighborhood where armed gangs make the rules and even the police only enter with armored vehicles. This 4K documentary travels through 30 of the world's most dangerous cities and districts, from Port-au-Prince, where gangs once controlled about 80% of the capital, to Rio's Complexo do Alemão, Chicago's O'Block and the hijacked high-rises of Johannesburg. In these places the law has been pushed back by cartels, gangs, war, drugs and disaster. Yet millions of people still live there, because their work, their family or their homeland keeps them from leaving. This film looks at how they survive: the curfews, the unwritten rules of silence, the WhatsApp warnings, the self-defense patrols and the daily risks most of us never have to think about. In this film: - Port-au-Prince and Cité Soleil, Haiti: a capital run by armed gangs - Mogadishu, Somalia: checking under the car for bombs every morning - Guayaquil, Ecuador: a state of emergency and soldiers in the streets - Callao and San Juan de Lurigancho, Peru: cocaine routes and an extortion epidemic - Chicago and St. Louis, USA: life where gunfire is part of the night - Stockholm, Sweden: suburbs where ambulances wait for a police escort - Apatzingán, Mexico: cartel drones and landmines in the lime orchards - Goma, DR Congo: a city trapped between a volcano and a war - Downtown Eastside, Vancouver and Cracolândia, São Paulo ▶ Watch next: URBAN HELLS | Life in the Most Disgusting Places on Earth: https://youtu.be/2ShGongyAls TOXIC HELLS: https://youtu.be/H0rwjzFaGMQ MOST CROWDED Places Where People Somehow Live: https://youtu.be/SAY7JuEeFmY This video does not glorify violence. It shows what happens to ordinary people when law and order break down. Which of these places surprised you the most, and could you live in any of them?
