I am so glad I went to see this movie. It was very interesting to see how the people living in the slums of Mumbai survive. The movie started off showing Jamal and how he was placed on the show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." He was falsely accused to cheating and was getting flogged and forced to tell how he knew the answers to the questions. Throughout the questions Jamal would experience flashbacks into his past when he was living in the slums. The flashbacks started off showing him 
as a kid and trying to survive with his brother. Later on the flashbacks show him and his brother older and trying to earn money working the rails and giving tours. When the questions got harder, Jamal would become older in his flashbacks and his brother turned to a gang to help solve his problems. When Jamal is finally cleared of cheating he is placed back on the show. He ends up guessing the last question right and he becomes a millionaire.

This movie really did a good job of showing life in the slums. There is a ongoing battle between the Muslims and the Hindu's. The children were forced to work and earn money. The geography changed from place to place. What started off as the slums eventually turned into a thriving city. The city had a lot of problems, but the people living there were wealthy.
