The Cardboard Train (Poverty Documentary)

from Real Stories Hosted by Real Stories

Set in the sprawling urban capital of Buenos Aires, The Cardboard Train is an amazing story of Argentinian culture and the will to survive. This is a personal story of a young girl and her family adapting to their newly impoverished lives. Instead of commuting to the office, they travel by train as a community of 30,000 to scavenge cardboard from the street, to sell for a few coins. Despite an existence controlled by mafia, the narrative is honest and focuses on their aspirations and everyday life.Uploaded 15-12-16Want to watch more full-length Documentaries?
