It's a wrap!

Today we finished shooting! In the morning we got some really nice pictures from Kibera that would nicely bind our "Flying toilet" story and later I met with Kevin (the Miraa Raper Guy) to get some music for the soundtrack of the Khat Movie.

And that is it! All stories completed! After nearly three weeks of constant shooting I will have some time for myself. Tourism time! Tomorrow we are heading for our Safari! I'm really excited because after all this hard time I will finally have a chance to witness just magnificent glory of beautiful nature. It will be a really pleasant relax time. But 7D of course goes with me. I'm sure will get some really beautiful shots.

The biggest slum in Nairobi

Kibera is the biggest slum in Nairobi. No one knows the exact number of people living there but the estimated number is 1,2 million. It is supposed also to be the most dangerous slum.

We went there today to start shooting footage for our documentary, titled "Flying Toilets" about the sanitation problems in the slums. If you are wondering what are Flying Toilets then I will tell you that this are just plastic bag filled with human excrement thrown away from the window. It is a common thing here and there are many health problems related to it.

There are some NGO's (non-governmental organizations) that try to fight with it and on the photo below you can see a sign about some planned investments to build public toilets. Unfortunately one has usually to pay for it and most of the slums people can't afford paying every time they need to use it. So the problem remains unresolved.
