The Children of Leningradsky
Mon 14 7.00 Riverside
with Gigi, Monica and Bianca |

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. 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.
