About
Due to unforeseen circumstances this screening has been cancelled.
'Rain is welcomed in the prison where the children Tony, Diosel and Bunso have to keep their footing amidst adult criminals. Rain means a shower and the chance to wash your clothes. As long as it is dry again in the evening, because the roof is leaking and if it rains you cannot sleep. In the prison, there is a lack of space, clothes and food. Worse, they share it with adult criminals convicted of rape, murder and drug dealing. Tony is only thirteen. Diosel and Bunso are eleven. Everyday, they struggle to survive in jail. Director Ditsi Carolino brings us into their life in prison, on the streets and the slums where they come from. Bunso is a disturbing film set in the sub-human world of a city jail with many poignant moments from the boys who speak their truth with a rare mix of innocence and streetsmarts, pain and humor.'
