Dokumentation / Bewohner des Nagai Parks in Osaka

In 2007, the municipal administration of Osaka planned to expel the homeless from Nagai Park, where the World Championships in Athlectics were taking place. The residents put up a stage play to protect the last remaining thing they have. This documentation portrays not only the urban problems, but also the hesitation of the homeless to accept help from others.
