But these two stories... The first is about impoverished Congolese men who spend all of their money on fancy clothes. I can't help but wonder if some of them are closeted. The Venezuelan story is about a bunch of squatters who took over a half-finished skyscraper. If you are wondering why the residents are in such great shape, it's because they have to climb all those stairs!

Congolese dandies and Venezuelan skyscraper squatters
I find that RT, CCTV, and Al Jazeera run fascinating pieces, so long as they are not about a topic in which their respective state sponsors (Russia, China, Qatar) have a vested interest. For example, I am not going to watch an RT documentary about the "real story" behind the shooting down of MH17.

Reminds me of a book I read about a few years ago http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/6560835/Gentlemen-of-Bacongo-Sir-Paul-Smith-on-shanty-town-dandies.html
