Shot on 8mm film in 1970, this vintage footage captures a community living in severe poverty at the edge of a river in India. The scene shows makeshift shelters constructed from tarp and scrap materials, with laundry hanging to dry. People, including children, move through the dusty settlement under a bright sky. The final frame reveals a stark contrast with modern high-rise buildings rising in the background, highlighting the divide between the slum and the city. This authentic home movie offers a poignant glimpse into daily life during the 1970s.
