The Earth in the Air is a short film written by Michael Bailey and directed by Jared Hogan. In the film, the main character leaves home with next to nothing, and his surroundings ultimately determine his path. The making of the film reflects this as close as possible. Due to the lack of lighting equipment, the director was forced to let the surroundings determine the shots, and ultimately, the story.

This film was made to coincide with the launch of "Megaslumming", the new book by Share The World’s Resources that was launched in Kenya in January 2010. The film vividly portrays some of the realities of poverty for the residents of Kibera - Kenya’s most notorious shantytown, and focuses on Djemba the street boy who is the central character in the book.
