Jason Taylor Film editing – everything by Jason Taylor

This film was made to coincide with the launch of ‘Megaslumming’, the new book by Share The World’s Resources that was launched in Kenya in January 2010. The film vividly portrays some of the realities of poverty for the residents of Kibera – Kenya’s most notorious shantytown, and focuses on Djemba the street boy who is the central character in the book. This was part of my year of volunteering. One of many to come. I try and look at reflecting the majority of what I see rather than looking for the stereotypical negative. I want to draw people in and not repel them. Connect them to the real people and the environment. I believe very strongly that most people are good, it is only their environment that is bad and this has a negative effect on people behavior. We are looking at the wrong end of the problem. I have also made a micro site that gives more information and images on the people, the place and the project. www.stwr.org/megaslumming
