Synopsis

In the chaotic streets of La Paz, Bolivia, thirteen year old Santiago shines shoes in hopes of a few meager coins. Orphaned and homeless, he wanders the city’s parks and plazas burdened by his shoe shine box and the perpetual fear of abuse, starvation and exposure to the brutal Andean weather.

Yet, beneath his weary facade is a fierce spirit, hopeful for a future off the streets to live a peaceful life outside the raucous city. To free himself from poverty, Santiago begins to offer tours of South America’s infamous prison–San Pedro.

He earns money giving tourists an unfiltered view of life inside the walled compound and providing them access to San Pedro’s vast assortment of drugs for sale. It may provide an escape from destitution, but can Santiago survive the chaos and extreme violence within Bolivia’s most feared prison?
