Children Underground
Edet Belzberg’s raw look into the lives of a group of street kids is something straight out of a Harmony Korine film. Not unlike Marc Singer’s ‘Dark Day’s’, Belzberg basically embedded herself into this group of homeless kids, as young as ten years old, as they live out their day to day lives huffing gold paint in the grimy subway tunnels of Bucharest, Romania. As sad as their lives are, there is a sense of family among the group, as dysfunctional as it may be. I’d have to say the strangest part of the film is seeing such young kids carrying themselves like adults. Very rarely are they acting like real children, outside of some rambunctious behaviour that only gets them into more trouble. Throughout the whole film I kept reminding myself that when the camera is around the kids, that means there’s an adult around the kids, begging the question ‘At what point should Belzberg intervene in any particular situation?’.

This reminds me of an article I read in sociology class that I'll never forget. At that time it was painfully disgusting to read and I felt so disturbed and mad! Basically it was about parents who hot box their kids or gave them hash brownies etc. to keep them quiet and calm. Honestly, you have to wonder how much drugs those parents do to be so f**ked up in the head!
Very sad
