Review: Filmmaker Taras Popov worked as a psychiatrist at a prison for boys for over 10 years before taking a video camera in hand to shoot the stories of children who considered him a friend. This footage became the basis for this documentary. Revealing the harsh struggle for survival among the inmates in this miniature facsimile of outside society, the film portrays the grim reality of life on the bottom of society. - yamagata.jp
