Based on a sitcom that aired for about a decade from 1992 to 2003, Home Along da Riles: The Movie, is a satirical film on the real life poverty of Filipinos living in the Philippines. Translated into English as, The House Along the Railroad Tracks, this comedic family sitcom turned to film explores the depths of the third world experience that many Filipinos go through either once in their lives, or throughout their entire lives. As dangerous as it already sounds, Home Along da Riles, is a portrayal of what Filipinos must endure every day—living in unsafe conditions under unsanitary circumstances. The sitcom/film revolves around an impoverished Filipino family known as the Kosmes.
