Ghosts

Brazil is the world’s No.

Brazil is the world’s No.1 consumer of crack cocaine and it is currently in the grips of a crack epidemic.

In downtown São Paulo, next to the city's most luxurious Concert Hall, Sala São Paulo, you can find Cracolândia - “Crackland”, an open-air crack den covering several blocks.

It has been described as "a lost neighbourhood in the heart of the city” where the forgotten drift like ghosts.
