Caught between an industrial landscape and a few uncharacterized housing blocks, 6 de Maio is one of the last shanty towns of the municipality of Amadora, Lisbon. Over its forty years of existence, it has evolved from a small cluster of wooden shacks, to a considerable converging point of immigrants coming from the former Portuguese colonies. Invisible to a society that still regards them with suspicion to this day, the inhabitants of the neighborhood learned to foster a sense of union, anchored on a common cultural heritage. Now, faced with the imminent destruction of their homes and the severing of the community ties that bind them, they reflect on the uncertainty the future holds and the memory of a life that will inevitably stay behind, along with the rubble.
