TIRE DIÉ – A LIFE FOR A DIME (1st America Film Festival, 1992)

On the outskirts of Santa Fé in a neighborhood of the poor. The tracks of a railroad line run toward a huge bridge. The trains have to slow down here - for the boys of the neighborhood an opportunity to beg for a penny, for most vital, for all a dangerous game. TIRE DIÉ, the first cinematic document of misery in Argentina, marks the beginning of political cinema in Latin America.
