For decades families survive on the garbage dump in Medellin, Colombia. They flew from the
violence between the guerrillas and the paramilitary forces who caused a lot of deaths.
The health conditions are critical, and the city of Medellin tries to move them into
regular housing. Howeveer many people reject an anonymous future in a concrete highrise.
