| Description: | Chile Poverty Men looking through garbage next to highway guard rail, pan to dilapidated overpass. Close shot Texaco sign, zoom out to show shacks and a young boy standing in front of them (presumably he is impoverished due to imperialist or capitalist economic tactics, but he actually looks healthy and well-clothed). Pan families amid shacks with laundry hanging. Woman shows camera inside room of home, economically poor but somewhat colorful - not the worst extreme poverty, but not so good. Plump woman sweeps dirt outdoors, next to train tracks. Small children walk along railroad tracks, pan to shantytown alongside the tracks, and then across the street to town homes (?) which look much better; pan back to a group of children posing and smiling on the RR tracks. Shot of overgrown RR tracks and power or phone lines, new housing development in distance; man pushes his bike over the tracks. Housing, disparity. | |
