Life In MAKOKO : Discover Africa’s BIGGEST and Most SHOCKING Floating Slum | Travel Documentary

Welcome to Makoko, the world’s most shocking floating slum — a hidden community in Lagos, Nigeria that challenges everything you think you know about life, survival, and dignity.
In this eye-opening travel documentary, we take you deep into the heart of Makoko Nigeria, a place often called the “Venice of Africa,” yet far removed from any fairy tale. It’s a floating village built on resilience, community, and defiance. Despite being one of the largest slums in Africa, life in Makoko is rich in tradition, vibrant culture, and stories the world needs to hear.
As part of our country documentaries series, this film is more than just facts about countries — it’s an emotional journey through a hidden Lagos where poverty, homelessness, and climate change intersect with creativity, strength, and hope. This is Makoko 2025: a place of contrast, where women run floating markets, children paddle to school, and art becomes resistance.
Whether you're here for tourism, to discover countries, or to better understand the complexity of urban slums, this country documentary will stay with you. Join us as we explore the untold truths of Africa slum life, and shine a light on a community often forgotten — but never defeated.
