Life on the Edge III: Scent of the Street

Every big city has gangs of young people on the margins... in Lagos, Nigeria, it's the Area Boys, bands of children and teenagers who scratch a living from petty crime and the informal economy. But when you're an Area Girl, life can be even tougher... especially in Lagos' teeming Ajegunle ghetto. In this 'Life on the Edge', the Area Girls take us into their world of street runs, "claiming tough", hawking, bottle fights, and internet cafe dreams of breaking out into another world... of schooling, modelling, family, or simply a decent wage.
