I HOPE THE DANCE CREW MAKE IT BIG AND STAY OUT OF TROUBLE MAY THE MOST HIGH BE WITH THEM

[@wamukoko]

Great piece, Nick! One of the most organically pieced production. I could almost feel to be part of the crew's struggles. It's unfortunate we couldn't get each of crew members' account. I can relate to Moha's struggle a the full-time nanny whilst the sole breadwinner. I wish I could host the crew in my four bedroomed house. They need basic cushioning during this harsh times. I feel like crowdfunding for them based on this moving documentary. I loved it.

@@SteveyMane Hi Steve I think you got my comments wrong. I am wondering why governments around the world, the United Nations, the Charities & the rich around the world cannot help change the situation fast enough I Learn efforts are being made by these organisation & reason for me to say I wonder why people are till living in shanty towns I expected the situation to have been resolved in some parts over the decades gone by but the situation remains the same. It is a heart wrenching situation for me to think about it. I do know the reasons behind these situations I only pray that it will change one day.

[@SteveyMane]

@@esthermensah5346 My bad... I get you now. It's quite a sad situation but the first world countries don't really care about Africa other than exploiting the natural resources, making money and tapping into the human resources. It's upto African governments themselves to come up with a clear plan and uplift the lives of their people.

I love their creativity. Imagine From dancing to parking cars.This is good. These boys re Stars I also love bond btn Moha and his son Malik. They are both happy in their Struggles. However the Struggles they through re so terrible. Bosco's relationship with his father isn't good. Imagine your Father marrying four times. I don't know how i would perseve it if i was in his shoes. One thing i Love about them is Organisation. These boys re organized inspite of their differences. This Gigi boy is very strong and powerful. How earth can you overpower four strong men?
