This book was released on 2016-04-26. Slums on Screen available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Near to one billion people call slums their home, making it a reasonable claim to describe our world as a 'planet of slums.' But how has this hard and unyielding way of life been depicted on screen? How have filmmakers engaged historically and across the globe with the social conditions of what is often perceived as the world's most miserable habitats?Combining approaches from cultural, globalisation and film studies, Igor Krstic outlines a transnational history of films that either document or fictionalise the favelas, shantytowns, barrios poulares or chawls of our 'planet of slums', exploring the way accelerated urbanisation has intersected with an increasingly interconnected global film culture. From Jacob Riis' How The Other Half Lives (1890) to Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire (2008), the volume provides a number of close readings of films from different historical periods and regions to outline how contemporary film and media practices relate to their past predeccesors, demonstrating the way various filmmakers, both north and south of the equator, have repeatedly grappled with, rejected or continuously modified documentary and realist modes to convey life in our 'planet of slums'.

Snatched up by Child Protective Services at the tender age of nine years old, SHEMAR was destined for a life of struggle and dysfunction. But those that counted him out had no way of measuring the heart of a young savage who's been BRED BY THE SLUMS. As he ages, young, beastly Shemar is motivated by more than just the shine and money that comes from hustling and murder in the hood. He's determined to rescue his younger sister, PURITY, from them hell she fell in to when they were separated by the system. With a cold heart and rescuing his sister from the dregs of foster care on his mind, Shemar forces his way into the slums of Cloverlane in Houston, Texas, where it is filled with low-life goons that refuse to fold or bow down to his gangsta. What unfolds is perverse, epic and breathtaking, as author GHOST spins an insatiable story of loyalty, greed, love, incense and calculated murder.
