I love that he didn't treat these men like a subject. He actually got involved, lived how they lived. Its so refreshing to see someone treat other people less fortunate than them like the human beings they are rather than having a barrier and making it clear he was there to garner information. So heartfelt and heartbreaking. Amazing people. A true testament to the human spirit, hard work, hope, friendship and sacrificing for your loved ones. I truly admire these men.

Wow they have nothing but that bracelet they gave Reggie say a lot about their humanity. Priceless
-
Copper is the only valuable things they are searching for, and yet they made such a beautiful copper bracelet and gave Reggie. How generous they are...❤
-
when chief and the boys chipped in to cover the lost wallet, that really was so unexpected. it made me really emotional, the love we have for each other runs deep!
-
I love how Reggie immersed himself in their situation without being condescending. He ate what they ate, slept where they slept and took a bath where they did.
-
Thank you, Reggie, for visiting my hood. I was born in this hood, and I grew up there, too. I know all the corners of all the places that are shown in this documentary. It was a great documentary, bdw. I am in the university now, and it is a part of my dreams to make this place better for all who live there. ❤

The saying " one man's garbage is another man's treasure " really comes with a deadly price. Great documentary.

My young brother you have a big heart. This documentary brought tears to my eyes! I was born in Kenya and now reside in New York City for the last 47 years so I can relate but I thought Kibera and Makoko in Nigeria were the worst. This is an Oscar documentary! I’ll subscribe for life Ole Pertet

That bracelet is worth it's weight in gold to them (metaphorically of course). What an incredible gesture. Those are great men.
-
Amazing how this group are so friendly, good natured and hospitable. I may or may not have cried when they gave him the bracelet
-
When he got that burner boy bracelet...That moment bought tears to my eyes, god bless these boys, and their families. All the best for them.

Unfortunately, the documentary didn't tell the entire story. Most of those guys are from the northern part of Ghana where the land is really good for farming. They produce a lot of organic foods and transports them to the southern part of the country. Unfortunately, the Government does not reduce the tax on fertilizers imports and even those that are procured by the government are given out to party people. The average farmer cannot compete and hence the rural-urban migration to Accra (the capital).

i love how he doesn’t stand around and record but actually works with them you can tell hes very passionate and has a big heart❤️
-
Man, Reggie is such a nice lad, always liked his humanistic interviews and docs, when he helped that guy to paint the wall that shows what hes about. Great work!
-
The best people are dealt the worst cards, God bless these men and women.

It’s really sad and heartbreaking to see that people have to live under these poor,unhealthy and extreme conditions. I can’t imagine living a live that though 😔That bracelet as a gift at the end of the video showed how kind these people are…i am speechless. I hope that the guy can afford these medicines and will be okay and they all stay safe 🙏🏻☘️
-
Thank you for showing their story and way of life. They are all so genuine and hard working . I cried when they presented you with the bracelet, you made brothers there.
-
I swear that bracelet they gave him Shows so much class WOW WOW
-
This is one of the greatest documentaries I've ever soon. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing our humanity.

They could use a gasifier to filter the smoke, and make fuel to sell. I would make one here in Hawaii but the state is preventing me from doing this. Maybe I should move to Ghana.
