"Chronicle of a Boy Alone"
1964
Directed by Leonardo Favio

A searing indictment of a fascist regime running over its children. Focusing on the bleak life of an 11-year-old bad boy Polin, who's been abandoned by his family and sent to live in a state-run orphanage. A neo-realist masterpiece. Banned for 30 years by the Argentinian government. Spanish with English subtitles. 86 minutes.
