Shot in 1974 by Danny Lyon and a single audio person, in twenty days in Santa Marta Colombia. The film shows the daily rhythms of a gang of boys who live on the city’s streets. Their survival skills and errant lifestyles are in evidence as they beg for scraps to eat, wheel and deal with storekeepers and street vendors, and play together.
