Children Underground: Street Kids in Romania (TW: GRAPHIC)

Video Description

REMEMBER TO SUBSCRIBE! → https://bit.ly/2CwckC3 - After the fall of communism in Romania, unwanted children in state orphanages escaped into the streets. These children are the subject of this documentary, which follows them into a subterranean world of hierarchy, hunger and drug use. The film focuses on five diverse children, including 12-year-old Mihai, who ran away from home due to his father's beatings, and Cristina, who passes for a boy. The filmmakers follow and record their daily lives, and the strained possibilities for reintegration. As the kids panhandle, fight and sleep on cardboard boxes, either on the train platforms underground or the public parks above ground, they inhale Aurolac, an industrial adhesive used in the construction and repair of terracotta, from plastic bags. This almost unbearably sad documentary is a profile of homeless Romanian children who were born victims of the nation's reckless population growth policy during its communist era.
