La vida loca

In Central America they are referred to as the maras: modeling themselves on Los Angeles youth gangs, these groups are now spreading terror in El Salvador and further afield. The film takes us deep into the heart of San Salvador's suburbs and into the everyday life of the members of an invisible army. A new global curse that destroys democratic principles through indiscriminate violence and condemns to death youth deprived of any hope for the future. (Moscow International Film Festival)
