Rak en Rol: ISKWATERPANGK



Of all documentaries narrating every day life in the slums, “Iskwaterpangk” enters this genre with a whole new style. Shot within the duration of a single day, this film comprising an approximate of one hour, heavily illustrates everyday life of people, mostly children, in the slums. Captured in grey-scale to grasp the simplicity and to illustrate difference in perspective; our and theirs. With audio from the music of The Brockas nothing much is heard from the whole movie. Your ears will demand for conversation but its absence will strongly enforce your observation on the humility of the people. 


Despite how great I find this movie is, I also found it hard to watch. It took me patience and some adjusting to the unusual style. It isn't for those who are easily bored and uninterested in the story.
