People in the Brazilian town of Barra Mansa have been waiting for a bridge for 20 years. A creek divides the town, and residents have had to make a 2 kilometre detour to reach the other side - just 25 metres away. The government quote for a footbridge was $81,000, so a local group took matters into their own hands and built one for a modest $1,500. 大象传媒 Brasil's Gerardo Lissardy shares their story.
