Welcome to the Smiling Coast: Living in the Gambian Ghetto plot

"A documentary behind the smile of Gambian tourism"

Every year more than 150,000 tourists find their way to The Gambia. Not only the warm climate and the exotic animals are very popular; cheap intimacy is also tempting for many fortune seekers. The destination is especially popular among single, older European women. Many of the tourists stay in luxury resorts, away from the poverty that is the daily reality for most of the population. Fifty years after independence, The Gambia is still one of the poorest countries in Africa.
