Gamín: geography of urbanization in the city of Bogotá

Abstract

The documentary “Gamín”, produced by the Claude Antone National Audiovisual Institute, directed by Ciro Durán and music by Francisco Zumaque, takes its images from the social situation of the most vulnerable population, such as the minors who lose their cultural and moral foundations, and are absorbed into a city that is approached with as much freedom as their rural areas of origin could be for them. This new situation brings new complications and libertine thoughts that turn them into arrogant people burdened with a false power of decision over their lives; they are faced with a modern city that offers them new horizons, far removed from the ways of life their parents had in rural areas.
