My perception of movies is based solely on movies and other forms of media, so my perception is extremely ignorant, like most people in my community. From what I have learned (which is very little considering I've never went out of my way to learn about the country) the country's citizens are very religious and poor. I know that's ignorant, but that's the view that's been placed in my mind.
EDIT: OH, and there is an issue with overcrowding, though I think there is some truth to that statement.
