 GANGLAND

Four out-of-school youths find themselves in a bloody gang battle after getting entangled in a botched-up drug deal. Kano - the group's leader - is in love with a girl but hates the world because of an aunt who molests him. Orson - whose parents reside in the United States and is left in the care of his grandma - captures every second of his life with the videocam he always carries. Tinto - a battered child - lisps and stammers as his father and his elder brother constantly abuse him. Dodge - still puberty and the youngest in the bunch - joins his buddies hoping to escape the shame of having a prostitute for a mother. With only their friendship for a shield, they shall try to protect themselves against their enemies as well as the society that condemns them.
