South of Madrid, along a highway on a strip 17 kilometers long, between 25,000 and 40,000 people live illegally: it is the Cañada Real, the largest illegal neighborhood in Europe… Houses made of makeshift houses, shacks made of canvas and sheet metal, electric cables lying on the ground and a muddy path: the Cañada Real is a neighborhood that lives withdrawn into itself, without sidewalks or public lighting. A huge favela on the outskirts of Madrid. Spaniards, but also Portuguese, Spanish gypsies, Moroccans, South Americans, with the economic crisis hitting Spain, the Cañada welcomes new residents every week… For a few months now, the Cañada has become the center of drug trafficking in Madrid. Insecurity, unsanitary conditions, the neighborhood is home to all the dealers and drug addicts chased out of the center of Madrid by the Municipal Police. The families who live there dream of leaving the shantytown... But where to go? No rehousing offers are planned and without work, they live secluded in their neighborhood, condemned to sink even deeper into illegality. Immersion in the daily life of this invisible city, where integrated citizens and delinquents on the fringes of Spanish society coexist. A film by: Garbielle Drean First broadcast: 2/14/2013
