Lagos, Nigeria's largest city, gets three episodes built around three places rather than the city as a whole. The first follows scavengers working the Olusosun rubbish dump, among them a musician who goes by Vocal Slender and sees his labor there as no obstacle to a music career. The second moves to Makoko, a fishing settlement built on stilts over the lagoon, where the camera follows families who conduct daily life, canoeing to school and market, entirely on water. The third settles on Bar Beach, where hawkers, preachers, and hustlers work a stretch of sand that doubles as marketplace and stage. The series avoids narration-heavy overview in favor of following individuals through their working days, letting their own explanations of scavenging, fishing, or selling carry the material. Lagos's population, estimated at over sixteen million, sits mostly offscreen as context; what's onscreen is the improvised infrastructure people build when the city's growth has outrun its planning, and the specific ingenuity each community has developed to make a living inside it.
