This is a clip from a film called "Poet of Poverty." It is a hard and moving look at how a city like Camden, NJ ( the poorest and most dangerous city in America)can come to exist in the wealthiest nation in the world. Narrated by Martin Sheen. poetofpoverty.com

  • If they take the money out of Cherry Hill NJ or Princeton NJ then they could fix Camden NJ!!!! The problem is THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM!!!! THEY COULD REBUILD CAMDEN BUT THEY RATHER GIVE THEM 3 STRIKES YOUR OUT...GO TO JAIL AND BECOME A SLAVE..MORE MONEY IN THE PRISON SYSTEM BEING SOLD ON THE STOCK MARKET! PRISONS ARE BIG MONEY MAKERS! THAT'S Y THEY DON'T INVEST IN SCHOOLS OR CREATE JOBS IN CAMDEN! THERE TOO BUSY BUILDING PRISON SYSTEMS! DETROIT IS IN THE SAME BOAT!

  • Thats why you got to love the kids. No matter what they are surrounded by they can always have fun!! I seen something very similar when I went to a 3rd world country, kids sorrounded by poverty and they were still having fun!!! If the kids got hope I guess we all can!!

  • Even crazier, I grew up in a town around 1 mile from this shithole and I'm white from a town that was exspensive to live in and everyone in my highschool was white... and had money... our property taxes was skyrocket due to this shithole in the county I grew up in.... its crazy richer towns live side by side next to the ghettos!

  • Damn!!! Camden look just like Detroit! thats crazy

  • yeah thats Camden alright. I just hope those kids make out of there one day!!!

  • kids the water bill plz. hope is ok but don't waste.

  • whats up CMD! They had steets like that in Phila a few years ago, it was finally cleaned up. It starts with the young, gotz to make sure they get an education

  • looks like a third world country, but this exist in the richest counrty in the world, and other rich countries in europe. very sick, changes dont come fast, stronger forces than obama work to keep it like this. they think poor uneducated people are easy to control,

  • Beautiful

  • WOW, if this was a silent video, seeing them kids in the begining i would have thought this was Iraq. Never would of thought some America citys were like this.

    What a disgrace
