Video from my Master Investigation

You can see here a video made for my Master thesis in anthropology of organizations, in shantytows and informal settlements in Mexico City.

It shows fragments of realities of the inhabitants, tanggled between ex-politicians who illegally sell to them lands which are for the property of the deputy council, against a moderate amount of money in exchange for false titles of property, which cannot be then settled by the authorities, being often placed on inconstructibles zones. These people meet on lands which they bought but which do not belong to them and cannot be often settled for safety reasons. Then, numerous local representatives of the main national political parties offer them their help against a moderate participation and, especially, the participation in demonstrations, meetings, protest actions and other political activities which allow these local "neo-caciques" to justify their political authority towards their hierarchy, in the prospect of their own projects of career.
