Toss Me a Dime (1958)

Every day, a group of children embark on a risky quest: begging coins from trains passing over a bridge, while facing the imminent danger of falling off. This moving documentary is an authentic chronicle of the impoverished realities and harsh life in the slums of 1950s Argentina. Directed by Fernando Birri, one of the fathers of the New Latin American Cinema, this piece stands as a monumental political achievement, capturing the essence of social struggles and abandonment in an unforgettable way.
