Greece

Hundreds of thousands of Greek gypsies struggle for survival, with no access to water, electricity or food. There is no agency designated to assist them, so they must live outside society in makeshift shanty towns, where half-naked children scavenge the waste dumps and stand for long hours at traffic lights, begging for change. But when evening comes, Georgia gets to wade into the water with her little sister. For her, this is the best part of the day.
