Plot

[edit]

Narrated by Carlos Muñoz, Gamín is a documentary on the subject of the life of the "street urchins", a word which refers to street children in Colombia, who have broken all family ties and struggle to survive on the streets of the city. The film illustrates, with shocking images, the homelessness and awful living conditions of these surviving children who are seen sleeping on the streets of Bogota, stealing food, car radios, selling cardboard, begging, etc.
