Camden New Jersey's Miraculous Comeback

Подробнее о видео

For years Camden New Jersey was, according to many, the worst place in America. Infamous photos of the post industrial town circulated the internet showing bombed out buildings, abandoned streets and a level of poverty that many would have expected only from a third world country … but certainly not from America. But this video isn’t about the bad, its actually about a fairly miraculous turnaround that the city is in the middle of…. Paradoxically triggered by an almost complete collapse of the existing government institutions.
