Osaka in Japan is hosting the World Expo 2025 under the theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives”. Next to this event, former workers die in the street in anonymity. Kamagasaki is a working-class ghetto from 1990 crisis of the world’s fourth largest economy and the first development assistance OECD's countries. This workforce has contributed significantly to the construction of the railway network (Shinkansen), the road and motorway network, large buildings, but also nuclear power plants (some liquidators of the Fukushima plant are also from Kamagasaki). They want to live with dignity.
