They Shoot Children, Don't They?
Englishman Bruce Harris took on more than he bargained for when he accepted the job of boss at a refuge for street children in Guatemala City.
He has now become the not so local hero. This film documents his investigations into violent acts, including murder, against Guatemala's street children by the national police. His pursuit of justice on behalf of these children is legendary but has placed him in a personally dangerous position: 'A lot of people say to me; "You are stupid! Don't you know where you are? Don't you know what you are up against?" - I am not looking for heroes or martyrs but nobody is going to kill these kids - nobody.' Director Judy Jackson Editor Jane Drabble
