Three students give up their life in London for a week in the slums of Chennai in India.

Trading their western lifestyles, 'A Week in the Slums' takes three British 17 year-olds out of their comfort zones to the slums of Chennai. While most would be getting on with a summer of fun, these young adults have spent a week of their holidays in one of India's most disadvantaged areas, learning the life of the locals and experiencing the struggles that they endure without life's basic amenities.
