As time and the world marches on (or a bus rolls by as in this case) there are always those who are left by the wayside. This city certainly isn't lacking in those who have given in to substance abuse, cachaca (a cheaply available & potent alcoholic drink derived from sugar cane), mental illness, misfortune, or various combinations thereof. In fact, "Cracolândia", or "Crackland", is an area where crack addicts, including children & pregnant women, converge to get high through the night & the streets become reminiscent of zombie movie sets. Social workers & church volunteers attempt to pull addicts out of their magnetic world, while experimental visitors from other states & even countries often become entrapped. Whether fortune's fools or mearly foolish, these are the residents of the darkest side of the city.
