Los Olvidados (1952)


Directed by hispanic filmmaker Luis Bunuel, "Los Olvidados" tells a gritty story about the struggle to survive as a an impoverished youth in the poverty stricken towns of Mexico City.  The film portrays the scenes that are quite disturbing but very true to life.  "Los Olvidados" portrays the harsh but true representation of poverty in certain parts of 3rd world countries. Poverty in parts of Mexico are rampant and the children, as seen in the film, must revert to crime or other violent act to stay alive.
