Nunca fuimos niños Directed by Giuliana Tommasi
On a dirt soccer field, 12-year-old Jano sees the truck every kid in town has been waiting for. Two cartel men get out to watch the game, and Jano plays like never before to be chosen. He's fast and he doesn't back down. When they offer him a place among the big guys, Jano climbs into the truck as his friends look on with envy. Nunca fuimos niños (We Were Never Children) is a portrait of the thousands of children recruited by organized crime in Mexico every year. (NAP, 2025, 00:05:00, Mexico)
