Gor Mkhitarian - soundtrack for the documentary "How We Live"

How We Live documents the face of poverty in Armenia as told through the personal stories of families living along the margins. Many of the families struggling with poverty are living off garbage dumps, children are battling malnutrition, alcoholism and domestic violence have become commonplace, and families are sleeping in tin shacks. The lives depicted in these images show families prevailing against inhuman odds and simultaneously making peace with what should be unacceptable. The project illuminates the daily challenges of poverty and explores the socio-economic and political basis upon which poverty exists and is perpetuated. How We Live also seeks to shine a light on lives that might otherwise pass quietly into oblivion, serving as a signpost of the times, raising awareness, and encouraging dialogue and collective action.
