2500 people have occupied the Torre de David, a structure that was originally planned as an office building in the old city district of Caracas. Alejandro Cegarra managed to gain the occupiers trust, resulting in a reportage about a rather unusual housing community. This is the sequel to the series that earned Cegarra the 2014 Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award.
