Great documentary... how people in other countries make a living

(DVD version). Interesting documentary. It focuses mostly on how hard it is to make a living in poorer countries. 90 minutes of great images, there is no dialog, just music (Phillip Glass), but the cinematography says it all (I wish they had put a little sign here and there to identify the country). While the living conditions are really bad it also shows how we, in the developed world, have lost contact with nature and live in artificial environments and high apartment buildings next to each other. It is interesting to see how difficult it is for poorer people to get a fraction of the things that we take for granted, like running water, clean food, decent transportation, etc.
