Slumdog Millionaire

In this movie, Jamal is living in the slums of Mumbai as an orphan. The movie does a good job of showing the struggles that are faced by orphans in a poor country like Mumbai. Day to day life is alot different then here in the United States. As Jamal starts reaching his success on the game show, we see stereotyping occur. There is no way a kid with Jamal's background could be doing so well, or thats what the producers think.
Jamal gets beat by authorities. He has no type of outside support that he was not cheating. Here in the U.S. there is the right to a attorney. However, in poor countries with a poor individual, there are no rights. The rights they have are the rights that are not taking away already from authorities.
The life style and events we see happen are in line with what is learned in geography. When there is a poor country with many poor individuals, there is very rarely a fair government in place. Jamal is accused for something he has not done, yet he has no way to prove it.
