This film is by no means easy to watch. It depicts the true side of 3rd world poverty in the streets of Colombia. Most of the actors used on the film came from the streets of Medellin. It is a very raw and eye opening film. Most of the acting was not really acting at all but a day in the everyday life of these people. At least 8 of the actors were murdered shortly after the films release and the lead actress in prison for murder. For a glimpse of the true life in the streets of Medellin look no further. I gave this film an 8 out of 10 due mostly to the accuracy of the story it depicts. It is definitely not a film for the lighthearted.
