Brushing your teeth with a twig in Kenya - vpro Metropolis 2011

Toothbrushes? In rural Kenya, most people have never heard of them. Yet their teeth are very white, how is this possible? Our correspondent Carren shows how these villagers continuously brush their teeth with twigs. Because tooth paste... that just stings in your mouth! vpro Metropolis was a video project by Dutch broadcast organisation vpro, that ran from 2008 to 2015. Metropolis is made by a global collective of young filmmakers and TV producers, reporting on remarkable stories from their own country/city. We made a trip around the globe on one single issue: from local beauty ideals to Elvis impersonators, to what's it like being gay, or an outcast or a dog in different cultures.
