The Children of Leningradsky

Oscar-nominated and bearing unflinching witness to the terrible reality of child-homelessness, this is a must-see insight into one of our most desperate urban conditions.

This raw and heartbreaking documentary follows a group of orphans and runaways just about existing in Moscow’s Leningradsky station, whose miserable days consist of the grim horrors of prostitution, begging, glue-sniffing and dealing with the direct threats of police brutality and AIDS.
