Albanian Roma "ghetto" neighborhood in the middle of Athens

These photos are from a part of Athens that used to be the nearby country side and the olive grove of the old city. You can see the Acropolis from there, it's just a 5-10 minute ride from the center. It is now the district of transit and logistic companies, small factories, a heavy traffic and polluted area, a ghetto for people like the Roma that have come from Albania almost 20 years ago and occupied a big field. Their work is to roam around the city and collect scrap metal. Out of material thrown from houses that go under reinovation, they build their shacks. But these shacks are their homes full of life, children's voices, passion. The pictures are taken in the summer of 2010.
