Lima's Streets

Begging, stealing and fighting are everyday realities for the street kids of Lima, Peru. From an early age they are taught to approach tourists and beg for money often learning key words like “please” and “hungry” in English. The older kids quite proudly talk about stealing from passers-by and sniffing glue to get high. Amidst the neon lights and the din of traffic these children struggle for survival in what one motorist calls “a mecca of crime.”

Marcelo Bukin was born in Buenos Aires. At the age of nineteen after his studies in technical architecture and design he set out to europe. Graduated with honors in film direction from Centre d'Estudis Cinematografics de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain.
