According to the United Nations, one in six of us now lives in a slum.

That's one billion people without access to what many of us consider "normal" sanitation, security or rights.

Perhaps what is more disturbing is the UN's calculations for the future: That by 2030, the number of slum dwellers may increase to three billion. That's half the world's population. This is not a problem of "over there." This is a global issue that must be addressed.

A documentary film won't change the world, but media does have the potential to shine a spotlight on important issues. That's what this documentary aims to do … to shine a light on this huge global issue.

We will look to the experts--the academics, the economists and more. But we will also spend time with the real experts of this story--those who live in the slums.

Please bookmark this website and follow our progress as we travel the world doing interviews and filming in some of the largest slums of various continents. We will keep our progress posted here, and let you know when the release date for the Slum Documentary gets close.

Thanks for your interest in our film, and your interest in the global issue of slums.
