Living with the Dead: Manila's North Cemetery

ChanceMultimedia
We traveled to the Philippines to investigate "why" and "how" thousands of people are living in Manila's North Cemetery. Locally, the story reflects the overcrowding and poverty that make this public cemetery an appealing alternative to slums, which are at constant risk of being demolished. Internationally, the story reflects the resiliency of people who lack stable housing and community infrastructure. It is an inspirational example of people making the best out of very little, as well as an alarm bell for human rights activists, as it shows how difficult it is to find stable housing here.
