A documentary in which children run after trains asking for coins; also known as Toss Me a Dime.
Sinekatalog’s take
Fernando Birri's documentary shows children running after a train in Santa Fe, asking passengers for coins. It is the founding work of Latin American social documentary, and its mix of compassion and anger still lands.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
