Medellín, Colombia, 1987: A group of teenage boys steal a camera from a news crew. The camera documents fragments of their fast-paced and dangerous lives – but the result becomes both stranger and more moving than expected. Barrio Triste means “sad neighborhood,” and the film portrays a community marked by violence, poverty, and lost childhood. Hidden within it, however, are unexpected and uncanny forces.

Produced by Harmony Korine’s company EDGLRD, the film is distinguished by hyper-creative music from Arca, and unsurprisingly features Bad Bunny, a frequent collaborator and friend, in a supporting role.
Barrio Triste had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival and quickly became a major talking point. This is a raw, wild film you won’t soon forget.
