Ghetto TV
Voices from a multicultural neighbourhood.
The Bourdonette neighbourhood on the outskirts of Lausanne is home to 1700 people of about 50 different nationalities, mostly living on low incomes. It has the reputation of being Lausanne’s Ghetto or Bronx. In 2002, with the aid of the city authorities, the neighbourhood started its own TV channel. The aim is to bring the many cultures of the Bourdonette area closer together. (Michele Andina, swissinfo.ch)
