In this episode of 48, Amanda and the crew travel through the Argentinean capital, Buenos Aires, on a journey from the shanty towns to the most chic areas.Our local guide Macarena explains how the financial crisis of 2001 affected ordinary Argentinians, and shows up how they adapted to changed economic climate. She takes us to a workers co-operative formed when they broke into Hotel Bauen after management closed the doors.Macarena takes Amanda to meet Maira and Edith, working class turned members of the underclass, who are among Buenos Aires 'cartoneros,' people who sift through rubbish to find recyclable materials. After their 'shift' Maira takes the 48 crew to a nightclub playing 'Cumbia Villera', a controversial form of Colombian folk music born from the poverty of the slums, and scorned by the middle classes.
Facho, you actually said 'even Marcelo Tinelli'. Why 'even', you moron? Like he's the paragon of the intelligentsia. Andá a lustrar el busto de Videla, pelotudo! Maybe. Salame del '72.

7:09 They have no teeth? That's what YOU think, Macarena. You're the retardest of cunts. The Queen of Moron. And practise your English, pleeeeease...

That's the point of the show. They look at a city from both good and bad sides, and explore the intrigue surrounding both.And as they say in the show, the middle class has been absolutely crippled in Argentina, hence the rise in poverty and its relevance as an issue.

First, India was never bad, yes they have 1.15 billion people... more than entire Latin American countries combined perhaps...and India is a country which is even more densely populated..but i can say there's nothing wrong with living there. crime is only present in very big cities.and after living in Europe and the US for 10 years now, I would rather live in India than in Thailand or china. the Democracy is very strong there, and People know their rights. that's why India is more stable.

wow they showed only problems, slums, and poverty.completely one sided, I for one an embarrassed.They completely disregarded the middle and upper class.

This video is rather showing all sides of Buenos Aires. The good ones and the bad ones but always with a hopeful point of view that everything is actually improving. I do not agree with you when you say that we shouldn't show people our problems. I think that if we do, more people will actually try to help and care about Argentina. Plus, if you lie to people just showing them just the beautiful side of Buenos Aires, they will be very disappointed the minuit they step outside of the airport...

que mala onda che. No están criticando o tirando abajo el pais. A mi me pareció mas bien positivo el video hablando de como argentina esta trabajando para salir del poso.

i don't understand, why must they show the bad side of this beautiful city? and what about the good one? not everyone is poor there! I used to live in Buenos Aires and I've never been in that places, and actually Once District is a full- latin immigrants-place
