A look at the graveyards of Cebu, which are home to hundreds of families with children.

Documentary on the graveyards of the Philippine metropolis of Cebu, which are home to hundreds of families with children.

The graveyards of the Philippine metropolis of Cebu are home to hundreds of families with children. At night they pitch their camps between the gravestones and sit down to cook, eat and do their washing.

It seems that the city has grown used to its graveyard occupants, who have been a familiar sight since the 1950s. This documentary shows the everyday life of the children who live and play among the graves and tells of their hopes and dreams for the future.

Tha na cladhan ann am baile mòr Cebu anns na Phillipines mar dhachaigh do na ceudan de theaghlaichean. Air an oidhche, bidh iad a' cur teantaichean an àirde eadar na leacan agus an sin, bidh iad a' còcacaireachd, ag ithe agus a' dèanamh an cuid nigheadaireachd.

Tha am baile air fàs cleachdte ri luchd-còmhnaidh nan cladhan, a th' air a bhith ann bho na 50an. Tha am fiolm a' sealltainn beatha làitheil na cloinne a tha beò agus a' cluich a-measg nan leacan agus tha e ag innse mu na dòchasan a th' aca airson na h-ama ri teachd.
