Chop Shop

Amerindie

The life and times of an 11 y/o (illegal?) hispanic hustler and his 16 y/o sister trying to survive on the mean streets of Queens, in the shadow of Shea Stadium.

All hand-held, gritty and grimy...this was like being immersed in a reality parallel to that of the clean, middle-class folks who skirt by the periphery of these kids' world. You had to admire their pluck and determination to climb out of this swamp whatever it took.

This was the same guy who did Man Push Cart. This is more developed, with fewer clunky bits. No fun to watch but true to life...their life.
