“Located in the historic city center, the once old former Barrio Chino had become a succulent real estate treat waiting to be carved up. To the North, a legion of civilians holed up in museums, universities and centers of contemporary culture waiting until the police finished clearing the streets of the destitute. To the South, the deputies of the tourism industry unloaded the hordes of the idle from the modern cruise ships anchored in the port. It was the start of an all-out siege, a war that fed on the city's streetwalkers. The battle was waged one house at a time...”

A promotional documentary by Yanapi, an NGO based in El Alto where it provides support to poor and disadvantaged teenagers. This documentary shows how 2000 euros a month are enough to support and feed 60 girls at risk of social exclusion, give work to 15 people, and help a group of mothers to set up their own cooperative.

Visit Panama. For one dollar you can buy a gram of cocaine, a dose of crack and even try “El Pegón”, the new toxic substance -a mix of marijuana with battery acid, diesel, gasoline and other chemical components- that's invading the cities of Panama City. Ten years after the North American military operation called “Just Cause”, tonnes of weapons were found distributed among Panama's civil population. Since then, there have been confrontations between armed gangs of young people for the control of weapons and chemical drugs. Confrontations that are increasingly frequent and bloody. This film is divided into three parts. In the first the first part the soundtrack of the local rappers illustrates the daily violence in the ghettoes. The second part centers on Fat, a functionary that roams the city collecting corpses. Lastly we meet Lolo, leader of the Krazy Killa gang. We can see the inner workings of one of the most dangerous gangs, under police siege in the midst of a war to maintain supremacy.
