Recently released on dvd is this gem called Chop Shop. Yeah I’ve been on a bit of a movie kick as it was a long weekend here in Vancouver and 2 I’m laying low as I’ll be kickin’ it out in NYC for a week over the next little while. Here’s a synopsis straight from the site:
Alejandro, a tough and ambitious Latino street orphan on the verge of adolescence, lives and works in an auto-body repair shop in a sprawling junkyard on the outskirts of Queens, New York. In this chaotic world of adults, young Alejandro struggles to make a better life for himself and his 16-year-old sister, Isamar. – Noruz Films
