Description

The main character in a documentary film by Lyon, Josélynn was one of a group of abandoned children living off garbage and sleeping on the cathedral steps. “Sometimes people ask me what happened to Josélynn, but I don’t know. Maybe he’s a beggar in the streets. Maybe he joined the guerrillas, but I doubt it. Maybe he’s dead.”
