Navotas Cemetery, Manila, The Philippines.
Manila is one of the most overpopulated places on Earth.
There are over 2000 families living above the dead in the Navotas Cemetery. Babies are born and the dead are buried in the same place.
Life goes on.

You left me stunned for a moment. It's hard to believe that living conditions like this still exist while the news pounds us with fears of profit loss for banks and corporations.....
What the hell are we doing????
Very curious to see the documentary
Lovely subtle music Nate aswell.
May all of these people, both living and dead, be blessed - and may the whole world be blessed to wake the heck up! This needs loving attention and change. God help us all.
And you see so much in those 3minutes without it being to hurry.
Great cinematography,the compositions where great and also the lightning was.
Its one of the better vids i've seen on Vimeo.

Like a comment mentioned above, the Filipino's are some of the happiest people I have met. As well as some of the most generous. While I was there many of the people had a 'whats mine is yours' attitude and always tried to share what they had no matter how little it seemed they had.
Great video! Thanks for making this!
Your filming Stefan, brought up all the emotions and then some. Very well conceived and communicated.
Happy holidays, and let's hope for a brighter future for all humans in this small planet.

Thank you...
