Inside Cracolandia, Sao Paulo's neighbourhood of open-air drug use • FRANCE 24 English

- In the heart of the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo - the largest metropolis in the Americas, with 12 million inhabitants - lies Cracolandia. Literally the "land of crack cocaine", it's a dangerous area frequented and inhabited by homeless people and drug users. They have no shelter, water or sanitation. Due to the lack of public services in the city, NGOs have provided food, work and entertainment for these extremely vulnerable people for many years. Our correspondents followed a psychiatrist who is trying to help people get out of Cracolandia.

I live in São Paulo, this place is worse than shown in this video
Thanks Joe Biden
Yeah, I’ve been to São Paulo many times, it’s a good city so it’s sad to see the juxtaposition of rich historical areas of the city with this situation.
@@bqrl445
I'm brazilian, but by the coments is very easy to understand that this preoblem sprayed around the world!
Plenty of USA cities like this
Toronto is heading towards this direction too.
Van already there
Trudeau's land is paradise on earth
You should consider not over exaggerating Torontos reality. Nowhere in Canada is this bad, not even San Francisco is as bad as this.
Not even close, try harder.
Are you sure that's not Philadelphia Los Angeles San Francisco anywhere USA?
You forgot the most important one CHICAGO!!!!!
Rich cities
U find poor suburbs
Every city in the world probably has there own drug infested area. It's been like that forever
@@white_genocide2050Chicago has a ton of violent crime in several neighborhoods but there’s no area that’s completely taken over by homeless junkies. Philadelphia, LA and San Francisco are the worst when it comes to this
Why go all the way to Brazil to report on their problems when it is so prevalent in France?
Do you think they do not report on France too? This is an international channel, they report on everything that is relevant
Its over for the french
So like Seattle, but with better people and weather.
Is your picture on your profile the guy who stole the plane and then crashed???
Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾
Are you sure that's not Paris? Looks the same with all the junkies.
Or, San Francisco
Try to find $20 eight balls in Gay Paris😂
@@Anti-BS100 chicago
I grew up nearby, it is very hard to see those people.
If you think it's hard to see them just close your eyes.
All this discouse about social injustice end up protecting the drug use and criminal activity
Yup
Reminds me of Philly
About to say. This is just like nyc
@@kukumulWhere in NYC has an open air drug market?
I was just about to say
@@xtrey19x Big Pharma listed on stock exchange.
Reminds me of Germany!
Looks like Philadelphia 😂😂😂
OR VANCOUVER
A lat no awaken
Same race of people, same outcome
@@ElberGudote69-gc4yj the son of USA president that happened to be a white male whit a PhD.. would fit on that crowd just fine..
Nah it's a lot nicer. At least crack pipes aren't needles like in Kensington.
So many places ending up like this
Very sad! I hope these people can get the help they deserve!!!!
People don’t take drugs please
Build clinics, not prisons.
Yes, drugs are a disease, one can't cure a disease behind bars.
Glad that you interviewed Father Julio Lancelotti, the only one that debate the real problems of homelessness in São Paulo
Padre Lançaleite
We have the equivalent here in San Francisco...
Sao Paolo has over 10,000 millionaires. Extremely wealthy places still can't stop drug addiction. Accept what we cannot change.
4 grams for $30 US! I’m in.
We in America are moving in this direction
Funny guy.......Kensington ave is WAY worse than cracolandia.
Moving? San Francisco is way worse than this
@@ana68475 isn't about which one's worse. It's about how both are similar
How innocent you are fentanyl is destroying lives long ago there
Skid row
Very sad.
Looks exactly like san francisco downtown
Literally Clownworld
Couldnt the guys in nice cars aleast give out some food while looking for their crack
Wait till Ai kicks in, there be will be more of theses scenes in major cities across the world. Internet buying has already created empty and dilapidated malls and shoping centres.
This is true, also lots of people will be unemployed.
I stopped this area near Luz train station for like 5 hours meanwhile waiting for a long Airplain transit. I was shocked by how unsafe the atmosphere of the area around Luz station was. but I finally entered a local bar and drank beers with local nicest people! people warned me not to cross the particular streets tourist would experience hardship for.
I'm Brazilian and I'm ashamed of our government...
Exquisite work by FRANCE 24 and especially the Psychology Pro's 🏆 🏆
I am from Los Angeles and i have also spent a few weeks in Sao Paulo even the downtown area close to this place. I can tell you LA is way worse. We have a downtown area similar to this "skid row", but then we have about 1000 mini crack-o-landias because the city doesn't mind of a bunch a meth/Fentanyl heads decide to setup tent on some random corner in some neighborhood and have a drug party. Also, these poeple sleep on public transportation in LA where in SP the don't tolerate that.
no drugs 😡👍
Can we change san fransico official name to Fentynalandia?
He is right, it doesn’t matter who is in office,same here in the states. Drugs rule, the beat goes on, its hard to crack any “Crackalandia”
Such an lovely place!
Bodoh

I am so sorry , people need help and access to healthcare and spiritual care , to get clean
Don't be sorry... you are totally correct in what you are saying and this is coming from a recovering heroin addict who used for 23 years and has been clean for 4yrs now, professional help is an absolute must and finding yourself again is definitely a spiritual journey.
When he was mayor of São Paulo, Fernando Haddad almost managed to dismantle the cracolandia with adequate and humanitarian public policies. But the Brazilian right has a predilection for violence and abandonment. This is also good for speculators who buy undervalued properties wherever cracolandia gathers.
It was so much better back then, I miss those days I could walk around downtown without worrying too much 😢
Fake
socialism at its finest
Socialism? Do you know anything about Brazil?
And what about USA anda the same problem? Socialism?
What? Explain yourself
@@themindless6234 yes, socialist local government and laws in USA has created the same
@@violetagardenia what? its self explanatory!
Yes we has city's areas likes that on any country on the words
This is not a solution. If you want to see a solution, go to Singapore where they don't tolerate this stuff.
Crack is whack 😂😂😂😂😂
Very interesting report.
this is hefty sad!!
Looks better than Downtown LA
Priest Julio Lancellotti always helping to distribute food to the homeless.
Padre Júlio Lancelotti is a p3d0f1le who r@pes children!!!
real estate speculation
Looks nicer that San Francisco....
We have this in my country
And it’s not close because of drug problem
It’s closed because the government cannot do its work, and the police are so corrupt and under educated
So maybe this is the reason Brazil
very free
drags paradise
Wondering how much the crack is there? more than likely somethin like $2 american dollars at most for a decent size rock.
$20 for 4 grams....so cheap!!
Street crack is mixed with....lots of things, no matter the country or city
@@mritzs5142you can just recook it and get it out.
Bob Burnquist must be very upset 🥲
Cool, I'll be headed to Sao Paulo on holiday soon. I'll be sure to avoid that area.
im from here i hope u have fun when u come over dude but like of all the places in brazil? all we have is buildings dude, theres some cool rave parties though. i would advise u 2 go 2 the places with beaches except for rio (cause of the crime) those are super fun
Go visit the rain Forrest’s that Brazil is destroying before their all gone 🎉
Sao Paulo is a great city. Avoid Cracolandia and you'll enjoy your stay.
Avoid the old city of São Paulo, it is super dangerous.
When people don’t have access to the necessities of modern life this what society will become regardless of which class you currently associate with.
Greece is where this started back in 2007-9.
It’s just spreading.
A cracolândia em São Paulo existe desde 1995, 1996 , já está chegando à 30 anos esse caos sem solução.
4 grams for 30 euros you say... interesting
Excellent sharing friend. Fully enjoyed. good videos my friend👍💯👍💯
Reward bad behavior
Drugs addicts are not victim
Crackedelfia 😂
Interesting

Looks like parts of the USA.

Lower class journalism. Be tactful in your reporting. Do better, FRANCE24
They need a Duterte-like leadership for this kind of war!

You'll need to visit the booths, distribute OUR business cards and leaflets, collect THEIR business card photos from the booths, and take selfies whenever possible. (total booths: 240)
Payment for three days - 150 euros.
Hello! I am a Brazilian from São Paulo and I am interested in working for you, where can I contact you?
4g of crack for €20.
Many cities around the world have these types of areas for instance in Los Angeles they call it Skid Row, you have to understand that it's actually normal in society's that embrace Capitalism where everything has a price, you see not all people are able for one reason or another to work for money and they will have to have a place to go. Guns, germs, steel, and Capitalism is what the colonizers brought with them, and native populations everywhere have struggled with the concept for hundreds of years how one person can own all the property
Cracolandia == LOL :)
A Democrat's dream!

@@cyberfunk3793but those are white people. their addiction is a medical issue.

10 years in there ! Heath spas have a bigger body count 😂
San Francisco 😂
Brazil needs Bolsanaro back to clean the. Streets
He was part of cleaned mess
He was there for four years and did nothing! He's another bigger problem facing Brazil.
🤣🤣🤣 everyone is responsible for their own choices !!
This is a result of long left governance in Brazil. They keep these people in this situation. They need human misery to exist as a political party, to have a red blood flag.
Such foolish words can only come from a Bolsonaro voter. The man who tried to destroy our democracy. He's going to Prison for 30 years. Deal with It.
Of course, always blame the left and not the prevalent inequality, poverty, and wealth disparity prevent in Brazilian.
Ofc it's the left is the one to blame when you and your companions have no solutions to solve this issue. Tarcísio isn't doing anything to solve it. Stop using political positions as a scapegoat and bring solutions to the table
The mayor and the governor have been right wing for the past 8 years and it only got worse
When the mayor was a leftist this issue was infinitely smaller.
it's worldwide in any nation that provides freebies instead of direct help. and some are forever lost.
So it’s a genetic racial issue cause the same type of people in America are doing the same thing.
Come to California, it’s worse🎉
😮
This priest is being investigated for sexual abuse.
It's not true, the guy who commented is just another Bolsonaro supporter
@@tartatuga Just look for information from the Archdiocese, There are even articles from independent newspapers talking about it.
Wow, how stupid and fake your comment is. This Guy is a hero for this people and should be an example for the government people.
PS: im not religious
Complete lie. The evidence they claim to have is a hoax. Setup by the right wing politicians and puppets.
Yes, he is. There's even footage
😮😮😮😮
3 Wrold 😅 ....
Essentially this is brazils version of skid row in Los Angeles. Very interesting how often the USA and Brazil experience parallels in their societies. The united states had an election related insurrection meanwhile Brazil did also. The USA had Trump as the president meanwhile brazil had Bolsanaro. The united states saw murder rates one of the highest in the world in the 1980s-1990s and Brazil now has some of the the highest murder rates in the 2000s. Both countries experienced a crack epidemic. Sadly brazils crack epidemic has lasted a lot longer than the USA's crack epidemic. Well actually who knows the united states has a major fentanyl problem right now and it's probably worse than the crack epidemic.
Like Portland Oregon

Talvez um país de " terceiro mundo " como mencionado por você, tenha os mesmos problemas sociais de um país de " primeiro mundo " porque o vício, dependência química é um problema de saúde universal .
E tenha certeza que para subjugar um país temos a necessidade de conhecê-lo.
