KADOGO, THE CHILD SOLDIER.
Children seduced by consumerist fever, marginalised and without work horizons, they have made the street their home and violence their language. Recruited into guerrilla warfare, delinquency and drug trafficking, they must suffer social condemnation and fight hard for their survival. It has a stationary format with a live rock band, powerful acting and a captivating and frenetic aesthetic.
