The slums of Paris

Slum dwellers of Paris's 93rd Department

Ever wondered what it's like being a reporter for an international news & current affairs show?

Veteran journalist David Brill travels to the outskirts of Paris. Approximately ten kilometres away from the nation's capital, Brill reports from the slums.

It's filled with poor black immigrants and ethnic French, many of whom believe they've got a raw deal from the government.

While travelling through the region, Brill is warned about filming in the heartlands of the slums, since many dwellers have turned their anger towards the media for portraying them in a negative light.

Catch Brill's insight into the slum dwellers of Paris and what the government is doing about closing the social divide.
