Hanging Out
A young gay man in Manila accidentally ends up joining an older group of friends when he gets the wrong address on a Grindr hook-up. In a way, it’s a coming of age story and it’s also a story about friendship, about love, and about navigating the complexities of being young and gay in Manila.
The Slum
The UN predicts that by 2050, one in three people will live in a slum. But what determines where you live and how does your environment shape your health, hopes and prospects? In a special season of coverage, Al Jazeera explores our relationships with the places we call home. The six-part documentary series The Slum introduces the residents of Tondo - the most densely populated and least developed part of Manila - as they strive for success against the odds.
