Lagos, Nigeria is considered an urban community, and yet the conditions there are most extreme for any human being. It’s a far cry from how the rest of the world lives. How has the conditions in Lagos changed when more than five decades ago, with only 300,000 residents, it was considered one of the loveliest places to visit.

Today, Lagos is overpopulated with 16 million people and it’s still growing in size, while every inch of its land is being occupied with structures. Lagos is stuck and can’t progress or function properly. The city that was once revered over fifty years ago has really lost its oppulence and loveliness.

This documentary gives us the realistic glimpse of how its 16 million citizens are living under grave conditions, going to the backbone of the country and looking into the scavengers who will take anything from the dump.

This documentary is presented in three parts, taking the viewer through a journey of Lagos, from its glorious days to what it has become today.
