Synopsis

Childhood is not a happy time in Colombia. It can mean living in constant threat of being coerced into gangs or caught in the cross-fire. In the forgotten barrios of Bogotá and Medellín, children find themselves hired as killers or forced into prostitution before they have left their teens. We give voice to this lost generation.
