Environment Work in Progress
"Walkart" is the main gathering place for the children in this film. It used to be a supermarket but it was repurposed as a secret hideout after it was abandoned years ago. In reality many large scale supermarkets are abandoned like this as well but rather than being useful, they actually end up being harmful to the communities they remain in. This is a way to give a positive spin on the issue, while hopefully bringing some attention to the matter.
