Voces de la Guerrero

A video and photo workshop run for street children in the Guerrero neighbourhood in Mexico leads to a video documentary where the latter are not merely subjects, but creators of the film. Art, audiovisual culture and technology open up innovative channels of communication for the children, who take control of the poverty, violence, drug addiction and homelessness in their lives by turning active producers of their own reality.
