- Kevin McCloud's travelled to the world's biggest slum, Dharavi in Mumbai, and followed hot on the heels of Slumdog Millionaire, 2008's Oscar-winning film set in the same shanty town -focused on the extreme day-to-day poverty endured by the local residents. Despite the hardships of life in the area, Kevin discovers an extraordinary sense of spirit and community and reflects on the lessons Western cities could learn from its sustainable society.
I had to watch this vid for my geography homework and it’s actually quite interesting

@Selena Essman ya
Same. We watched it in class and at 17:47 everyone lost it.
These people are commendable. Instead of turner to crime and other vices, they humble themselves and work, still perform an essential role in nature. I wish I had the fortitude to pick trash rather than rob someone if that means I live honestly. If there is heaven, surely it will be filled with people like them.
i like this guy. he brought it, he lived it. he is not a jerk for being appalled! im severely appalled by the inhumane conditions these people survive in. one day may there be justice for all.
well THIS guy and 2 others spent two weeks filming random kids on the street and kids SHITTING. He also walked home with some teenage girls outside of their FUCKING school
@@Lawnnoahjesus uh oh
I'm fully convinced that all of the dislikes on this video are from teenagers who got set this as homework and are sick of learning about it
true, im one of them
This really makes you appreciate everything you have
I know right we loose contact of our reality too fast when were not confronted to those conditions on daily basics
Khem jo.Many dukan wallahs and bigger business in NZ R GUJARATI
One thing is being rich does not save you from death at any time. Death does not care about your riches or status!
I would use a bucket in a corner, and dump it.
it should make you hate the things what you have!
This two-part series is perhaps the most inspired thing I've seen on British television. It's profoundly attitude-changing. I've heard a lot about how such communities have many lessons embedded in them that the West could benefit from, but having seen this, I have a better idea of the specifics. Hats off to the people of Dharavi and to the producers and participants in this programme for risking health and telling this story. I stand humbled and informed...this fulfills the promise of television, to bring us closer to other worlds that we might not have otherwise experienced.
guys be helpful and make a lil summary so we can all share and do our homework quickly xoxo
People get payed for selling rubbish from a dump.
Which country has dharavi in their homework? I’m from India and I had never even heard about this place until I moved to US
@@ajaykhakh im in the UK n probably soo are the others watching this too😭
@@enemuteatumah4717 we gotta do this in Australia 😭
@@ajaykhakh in france too
I really like Kevin Mccloud. he's a proper journalist. Making enjoyable television that tells a story. not full of himself like the majority of tv presenters are. and always respecting everyone. I only yesterday found out he went to Dharavi. A man who spends his career around grandly designed houses in a place where houses are held together by hope.. I expected to see something about the building of Dharavi. instead I saw a heartwarming story of people who live in the dirtiest most degrading place on earth, yet somehow, manage to be truly happy. and a presenter who tells their story, not his own. THAT is great television.
My cat won't use a dirty litter box.
'' i don't want it, I bloody don't want it "
He's such a wanker sometimes!
so true, wouldn't touch it at the moment, corona time
his attitude is abhorrent
Who else is here for geography work? ( btw I love geog documentaries like this ) x
This was the best documentary I have ever watched> I smiled, cried of sorrow, smiled again and then tears of being happy that these folks were so gentle and welcoming.
Kevin's attitude as crude as it is, is far better than the local so-called upper class. At least Kevin has been inside Dharavi, whereas to other it's a eyesore they'll never dare step in and the people are disposable.
24:30 that girls english is so beautifuly spoken, god bless her and give her a happy life
I wonder if she ended up being an air hostess like she said to Kevin. 🤔
agreed there
I show this two-part doco to my Year 8 Geography students when we study Urbanisation. I find it to be most helpful.
stress how not having diversity and immigration shoved down their throats allow for strong community ties
same
This documentary is an eye opener, I've always thought each time they showed a slum, the folks in there are unhappy, sad, lazy and uneducated...how wrong was I...shame on me...big nations can really LEARN from them...
I feel so bad for the people. I wish no human would have to do this.
i know but they are still happy and upspirited! its so interesting
Don't worry about it...their happy ....happier than some people in so called civilised communities
If nothing else, it makes you realise just how lucky you are if you live in an affluent place. The rewards for one's labour are far more generous in the west (even after the tax we complain is too high). While hard work in the west can potentially give you every material comfort the world has to offer, in somewhere like Dharavi, equally hard work will do little more than feed and house you.
Well spoken Indeed..
I can only imagine the amazingly high functioning immune systems these people have in order to survive in such conditions. I can also see the importance of happiness, purpose and community connection being a possible epigenetic health boost. When one has no other choice, one simply does.
Unfortuanately, those slums have only existed for 70 or 80 years, so natural selection hasn't taken place long enough for a considerable increase in their immune systems.
Watching this in school. It's amazing!
This was such an eye opener. So many slum documentaries show only the bad, sad and the utterly unbearable poverty however while this showed all of that, what stood out was the beauty in the people, their drive to survive no matter how hard or dirty the work is and their sense of belonging and community. I have finished the 2 part series being left with a mix of gratitude for what I take for granted every day and a bit of envy that they have something I may never find in that community, friendship and a simple happiness for life without things. What amazing, resilient and genuinely lovely group of people. All the best to beautiful Monica and her family. She seems like a very smart girl, I hope she continues her education
i think he did a good job
remember he really wants all of us to know how it smell,"feels" and see how it really is.. that's journalism, its not about him/her but its all about YOU how will you "feel" and what will you do?...
grow up and think outside the box!
jowkazz Agreed.
we westerners are so blessed on free government money, health care, and housing, and education, yet we take everything for granted...only the poorest of all people who truly knows how to value what they have..we complain about how much we get paid, the clothes we have, and what we waste, poor people would greatly appreciate..
Free government money and housing? No
The daughter is great. Wishing her every success!
India may not be the cleanest pace or the most sanitary. And i felt at times that Kevin was too harsh on the people who live there. It's not their fault they live in these condition they didn't ask to be put in Dharavi. However somehow i felt the happiness that was spread around. The community with virtually no crime, where generations of your family have lived!! And i feel that we all have something to learn from this magnificent place. And i hope that the construction workers and architects will not ruin the magic that is Dharavi.
I feel where you're coming from but ,its either they get the harsh truth from Kevin or life will be harsh on them anyway.Ask anyone who's "made it" and they'll always tell you that to get there didn't involve taking the road of least resistance.Anything good in life always comes with some form of pain.
i am from kerala .. we dont have any slums here .. but I do wanna tell that it was a perfect document about the slums in India i ever seen ... great work ..
vishnu The reason you'll don't have much slums there is cuz half of India's population have shifted to Mumbai. Like everyday 1000's of people just come to Bombay to work stay study. Like seriously there is no place left here to accommodate more people. Mumbai is crumbling. If all the immigrants go back to their home state, definitely Mumbai will look much more cleaner and empty. I miss all the open spaces with less population we once had in Bombay.
Free drinking water n 95%literacy eh Bhai
+SHELDON MIRANDA Slogan is Maharashta for Marathis,its wrong,but I get thier point,yours GoraWallah
Mike Berg Slogan "Maharashtra for Marathis" is correct. There's a limit a city can handle immigrant population.
Anybody else have to watch this for their geography work?
yep ◑﹏◐
yep
This documentary should teach everyone to be grateful for whatever they have in their lives. This video blew me away at how far humans are willing to go to survive.
This is so amazing.I cant explain in words ,i am living in India but never imagined to saw culture ,work of this slum people .I came to know the most important in life: "what one person require to live a life:home,some food and most important happiness in little things"
What a powerful documentary. Respect to Kevin for a well balanced documentary. This documentary also shows that Humanity is the most important religion and to love and respect each other regardless of religion, culture etc
London !! 2 hundred years ago . ...
Never lol
john turner London was shit but it was never that densely populated ..
john turner - your right not even that long ago England was like this , not just London - as in "The Road to Wigan Pier"
Early 1900 at major cities looked like this.
I'd rather live anywhere in India than in London.
it just amazes me how happy and how sweet these people are living/working in these conditions i watched this in school in geography and i was so shocked i said to my teacher that people are afraid of dirty dish water imagine living in that its not right especially for the little children
By any chance do u go to Moyne Cs?
I can understand why the people that live in Dharavi don't want it to be torn down, its a community and each person has his or her role.
A year later I find myself coming back to this doc. Well done I thoroughly enjoy this
if the slum could be made more hygienic, i actually wouldn't mind living there. honestly a better sewage, clean water and functioning toilets are absolute necessities. other than that, i wouldn't mind living with so many people in such a small space or generally in basic built houses. it's part of what makes them happy. so inspiring honestly, i feel so spoiled as a middle class person after watching this.
good sanitation, proper sewage and waste processing. perhaps some form of community organisation enabling these things to be built. these are the things they really need. than its up to everyone else to be more responsible with our waste. the real tragedy is they are living in a dump. imagine a dharavi where the people produce wonderful things like that pottery. without all the rubbish, without the need to sift through syringes with god knows what in it. without swarming over a dumptruck like its filled with gold. rubbish is rubbish. it is commendable how they have adapted and taken up the recycling. but the fact they ended up there is just so sad.
Imagine a Dharavi that has all the good things, community, happiness, safety, a sense of belonging and purpose. but clean. sanitary. that would be a slice of heaven on earth.
It wouldn't be a slum then

I have to say I had to watch this documentary for geography homework and I wasn't looking forward to it but I really enjoyed watching it and found it very interesting ❤️
I hope you rewatch the series now I have brought you back
That fishing village is really beautiful unbelievable that place is hidden in a slum.
Wonderful. Not only makes you appreciate what you have, but makes you see what you don't need. The garbage coming from the rich community's, that they sift through, is amazing. They are very happy, peaceful people, enjoying life with the basics, if not less. A lot the rest of the world could take and learn from them.
Wowwwwww.... very good and unbiased documentary. Learned a lesson that "we need very small things to be happy, if we want to be happy".
I want to live there, yet I want to stay the hell away... what is wrong with me.
Muzik Bike - Geometry Dash and stuff like to
Astrid Jacobs indeed I would
Go do it , you just might get to know and learn more about yourself and your values.Actually I've seen people go to Africa "to change it" yet it turns out that sometimes its Africa that changes them.
why the fck do you want to live in india
Muzik Bike - Geometry Dash and stuff - I feel you tho
Don't get the comments that said he was rude for calling the place filthy in front of the people... there is a horrible philosophy that people get used to circumstances... but they don't if basic needs aren't being met, and the people are probably not offended. It is accepted as truth until there can be better.
The problem is that it may be a hellhole in the western eye, but these people lived here for generations. The point made, they want to retain their community, family ties, and their happiness.
Yes sanitation and cleanliness is lacking, but then over sanitation and bleach is destroying the western culture. The immune system of the body is more stronger there than in the west.
Life is not all about that is about sharing, friendliness, and being a society and part of your own family, which has disintegrated in the west.
Life is what we make off it, not only what we make of life.
don't you compare your shit place,with the west. happiness in there? you got to be kidding.
Francisco Neto
You obviously cannot read English very well or you would understand what I had written. I never compared it to the west, or was my answer too complicated for your small mind?
Francisco Neto India truly is a beautiful country and i would feel safer walking around Mumbai alone (which i have) than around London at night. The indian culture amazes me. They are happy and they are family orientated, people in the west argue over stupid pointless things! You should leave your small bubble and see the world!!
trust me, anybody would pick any western life over their life. their life is shit
sorry but no matter how strong your immune system is, toxic materials will kill, or shorten your life. And you cant say that natural selection has given them a resistance, after all the slum has only been around for 70 years. Personaly i think this place is great, it just needs abit of infrastructure though.
This was a brilliant insight to the lives of the slum dwellers of India......
it's so awesome to see these hard workers working on such Green initiatives.
This definitely makes me grateful for what I do have and kind of envious of the closeness to family and friends that I don't have. Great thoughtful documentary.
We may not be 3rd richest but richest in heart and hospitality.
OMG! Thanks Kevin for a awesome docomentary👌 it was very educational and an eye opener, this makes you appreciate the simple things of what u have in life. Thank you!
Great Documentary! Love the knowledge of the unknown...
17:48 "what is the life expectancy of this man?" and the look of WTF on the guy's face
the most shocking i have seen from here was two little brothers that actually swam in those toxic waters for metals ..
I was given this as school homework

It is mind blowing how different this slum is from the slums in Africa. It appears there is a real community ,here, and far less crime than one would expect. I watched a documentary on slums in Liberia and was left with the impression that Satan is at home ,there(children doing hard drugs,cannibalism,violence everywhere you look). Even the poorest have organized themselves into functioning communities in Dharavi .I think it gives westeners an idea of how our poor lived in communities some hundred years ago Quite frankly ,it made me understand why the poor progressed out of poverty in the West and why the slums in Africa seem to be only increasing in numbers and violence. It is a sense of community and organization that makes the difference .Very interesting report.
+Cherokee that's a very stupid argument
This was humbling. Typical developers thinking what they know what's best for the people. The people know what the people want...
ASK THEM! God bless
i like how his opinions change through the episode/s
Good insight ,Time to do one on the UK and so on because we may not call certain area's slums it's about people living in unhealthy and demoralising situations worldwide
It touched my heart :) Fantastic, Dharavi popolation has something great in them than other people residing in mumbai. Salute.
I like this guy's documentaries. Can you upload more from him. Great choice.
Awesome documentary..hats off👌👌
Brilliant Documentary. I really enjoyed it and hope these areas of happiness are not destroyed.
lovely, hardworking people
I really appreciated his attitude here. Looking at the overall message of this documentary I think they really nailed the idea about appreciating what other cultures and people have to offer you as a person. Normally you would think only criminals and disgusting people live in slums, but it was literally the opposite, they are very clean, organized and efficient. This documentary kind of blew my mind in the sense that I thought I was going to hate everything that came out of this guy's mouth, but in the end, the opposite happened as well.
(02:59) I'd give Kevin McCLoud 5 Stars if he used the Dharavi TOiLET during his "stay".
It the hearts of the people and community that shines - what beautiful people!
Can't the government even provide them with gloves and boots... afterall they are doing the most important work to save the earth
they are not working for the government. it isnt their job. they chose to do that shit.
Plastic Memories you are one of the most dumb person to bring up that answer.
Job Zakaria Shut the fuck up lmao. calling me dumb when you cant even type out a sentence that makes sense upon reading it.
Plastic Memories surely you're dumb boy.. and it's conspicuous from your name as well Mr. plastic Skunk! you don't even know the basic cycle of Economy and preliminary definition of Government.. What taa fukkkkk willy!
lol. Kay
To get a better perspective of how the people are living in the slums of India and their attitudes I suggest watching a different documentary called "Welcome to India 2012 pt 1,2 & 3" as it gives a far better insight into people’s lives and leaves it more open to how you feel about their living. Kevin’s attitude is somewhat dismissive of the people's apparent 'disregard' of the mess and conditions around them and as as others have mentioned, his slightly pompous British attitude shines through gloriously.
Yeah, he's a bit romantic with his interpretation.
thanks for the link dave barbersan, will check it out
Pompous yes,I smell a nanny n private school upbringing
Kevin sees anything in India: “it’s just......sHiT”
This is very informative and thought provoking
What a fascinating place. I was terribly shocked at some of what was shown. But as quickly, I was so happy to see what these generations of residents have created from nothing. I think it would be tragic to force these residents from this place. It would be lovely to improve their area and lives i.e.: proper water and sewage. I think these people would be utterly destroyed if they were forced out. They are happy!!! Leave them alone and build your skyscrapers somewhere else!
Each architect has to look it more. It's a fractal twon. Despite the sewerage system and the lack of place for everyone, and small green space to improve. Big Town in the future should be like this. More Fractal. Very inspirational. Bu only for people who wish to live in town
Richness is not material it is having people around u and living happy
We have infinite wealth here in the US but these people are way happier and could teach us a lot.
thank you Kevin
Everyone who is make rude comments about how dirty India is and how rude the people are, have you ever been there before? Or are you just make a judgement about the video you have seen. I can make a judgement based upon your comments and say you are cold a heartless. But I don't pass judgement on a person until I have met them. I don't pass judgement on a place unless I have been there.
I have been in India and I can guarantee you its very dirty
+Vespucci cook only the poorer areas. the rich people live in cleaner areas obvi
You have alot to learn then if you need to be at the place to have a opinion wow.
I have been on a 5 week trip through india from dehli to madras. All the cities totally have a lack of hygene, crowded, open sewers, shit everywhere. This place is subhuman
+Vespucci cook I know if I could I'd Go give any help I could. my income isn't great but the Lord always finds me through I'm sorry if I came off wrong I apologize .GOD BLESS YOUR HEART AND SOUL
Wonderful documentary...
There's beauty everywhere
very intreesting love this
Great honest presentation
22:17 The call to prayer. In the background, of course.
It's crazy to say this but I would like to go see these places that are all over the world..
Its a controversial topic guys...... However, it does make me realise how many things I take for granted + my family donates thousands to people in india, if that makes a difference!
#KevinMcCloud For Representing of my Country Poor People.
leave it as it is, its beautiful
Take a bit of what I said back as Kevin started to get angry especially with the rich and pretty dimbo's. Well done.
The presenter kinda turned to the hypocrisy he was talking about in the beginning: "This place is wonderful, I really need an hotel tonight."
teacher introduced it to the class i think it changed the perspective on how they all sore this subject
Sometimes i take what i ve got for granted.Wishing instead of my little flat that i lived in a big fancy house.And i often moan that i don t have a great car or this and that.This doc has truly made me eat my humble pie.Despite these wonderful peoples squalid circumstances they make the most of their lives,work extremely hard and despite what its like outside they keep their homes spotless.I loved that they recycle everything bringing even more joy to the world.I will remember this next time i moan.At least i have plentiful,constant water and a flushing toilet.These remarkable ,beautiful people are an inspiration to us all. JX.
I think he done great you try and go stay there for 2 weeks and see how you go I like the fact that he is so honest really well made doco
excellent enjoyed that
Message from Canada........Hi Kevin, very good job, its very much appreciated your efforts to provide us the real picture of Indian slums, how they are living with happiness and joy with the joint family system.....I was emotional when you were leaving and kissing Monica......its lovely documentary I have see....Thanks BBC too....
Such amazing Humans
Thank you so much for all your hard work India. the wimp cannot handle the work or the responsibility.
Take the time to watch it yourself it was a very great documentary
I do too. Even as a viewer you can't help but feel a sense of culture shock, I guess, and I definitely identify with many of his changing thoughts and views throughout the video.
Kevin Mcloud Sluming'nice documentary you got to know different kind of people and how they live
Props to the cameraman.
very good and educational ducumentary :)
I think that recycling scheme is great and hugely important for every single nation on the planet! If only it were improved upon with better safety gear and health regulations and some government assistance. If more of us don't start recycling a lot of our stuff we are going to literally destroy our home planet and choke it to death on plastic, poison and garbage. I would love to see more programs similar to that started around the world and a lot more attention placed on the importance of recycling.
That being said I strongly believe its time for some very serious POPULATION CONTROL! If we don't start controlling our populations our whole planet will be one big slum!
Personally, I hate the notion that the waste materials from all around the country and likely from around Europe too are getting so painstakingly sorted by so many people and to (almost) no avail. It's not like that solves the problem with waste, not even locally. All they do is they earn a bit of money every day just to get by. No real perspective in life. And in Bollywood, just 2 miles away their co-citizens are totally indifferent to their fate and don't even care if they'd still do their recycling jobs after the slum's gone vertical to make way for more luxury villas and mansions. That's grotesque. No one is saving our planet in Dharavi.
34:11 I spy that curved bldg with the two rooftop gardens is exactly the same as the NTU Singapore's Arts school building.
It's easy for Europeans/Americans to forget our recent past,when London was utterly filthy,Edinburgh was unaffectionately called Auld Reekie,New York was unspeakable,etc.Kevin hasn't seen "Worst Jobs in History" maybe?These people are certainly well dressed,clean and very respectable,doing a vastly underappreciated job that's vital to our future.Let us admire and respect them wholeheartedly,adjust OUR attitudes and buy those plastic bangles to show support!Amazing program,thanks!
Oh. My. God. I can't believe this
