Welcome to Japan's biggest slum, where survival is the only currency that matters. For the 20,000 people here in Kamagasaki, home is often the street. It's a strangely quiet slum, built on a brutal economic logic: a bowl of ramen might only cost 500 yen, but a tiny 3-tatami-mat room can cost $350 a month. The vending machines are filled with alcohol and cigarettes, because here, people don't care about finance when tomorrow is never guaranteed. 🎥 Credits Host: Andrew Fraser Editor: Toms D.
