-A real Story, how real?
Why Slums?
Background
In the middle of the big City, Mumbai, India. There's a slums area where babies were given birth like flies, and raised by the nature. They were fed and grew without proper education, nor parents' love.
Those with family, was brought up in a 'house' at the size of a 100SF-200SF(the size of my room), which stacked up aside. Now here, I would live happily alone in a 100-200SF room, which provide sufficient privacy, at least. But in the slums, parents gave birth to babies like they had to. It's enormous in number compared to what our grannny did(5-7?). You'll never want to pay a visit if there's no guide or safety precaution(lots of snatch thieves).
Why dog? (as in slumdog)
I don't know..Watch it..lol
Why Millionaire?
The story starts with the game 'Who wants to be an millionaire', in Mumbai, India. A 18year old man was sitting on the hot seat, with Rp 10, 000 ,000 on the screen. And he's one step away to get his ultimate Rp 20,000,000, which scheduled to the next day. Out of sudden, the cops* got him into costudy under the suspicious of cheating in the game. There goes the story....
Whoot, stop b4 the bell ring:"Spoiler Alert!!"
Well, there're some pictures here. I will strongly recommend all people to watch this movie, it's a real life scatching. It reveals the true faces under the masks. And guess what? The 'dog' word offended most people from there. Which means, the story is 'still shooting' while we're talking about how nice is this movie. Those whom constantly have to deal with issues such as, constant migration, lack of water, no sewage or solid waste facilities, lack of public transit, pollution and housing shortages.
Thanks God for giving me an opportunity to experience the joyous of having a family, and provided sufficient food and shelter for me and family.
