In Kenya's capital, Nairobi, Kibera's residents have transformed a dump into a school - but plans to build a highway could force children back onto the street. Residents of the slums and other petitioners have gone to court to stop construction of a highway through the settlement, saying it will render them homeless. Film by Johnny Miller, Benj Binks, and George Ng'ang'a Githiri.
