- DirectorDiego EcheverriaStarsMarta AvilésEvelyn BorgesTito LopezIn the late 70s and early 80s, Los Sures was one of the poorest neighborhoods in New York City.

The complex portrait also celebrates the vitality of this largely Puerto Rican and Dominican community, showing the strength of their culture, their creativity, and their determination to overcome a desperate situation. Beautifully restored just in time for the 30th anniversary of the premiere at the New York Festival, this documentary is a priceless piece of New York City history.
