Niños de la calle

This is the most harsh and shocking documentary I had seen in my whole life. Indeed, Mexico is a place of contrasts, but few of them are as overlooked as is the case of children who live in the streets. If you have questioned yourself from time to time where do this kids begging in the streets of this city come from, this film brings all those answers to the light, by showing us a world of despair and misery in its coldest form. Through the eyes of the camera we learn about the daily lives of these children and the circumstances that pushed them to run away from their families, as well as their aspirations, desires and the ultimate sense of friendship and compassion that seems to hold them together. The way I see the streets and its people has changed forever since I saw this movie and I am encouraged to take action and help.

Urgently, extremely recommended for alienated and corrupt Mexican politicians.
