"De La Calle (Streeters)"
2001
Directed by Gerardo Tort

Gerardo Tort's tale about the rough and dangerous streets of Mexico City and the denizens that call it home won 11 Mexican Academy Awards. The film's stark, gritty feel lends itself well to its story about a teenager and his girlfriend struggling to survive in an environment determined to destroy them. A gripping piece of cinema. Stars Luis Fernando Pena and Maya Zapata. Spanish with English subtitles.  86 minutes.
