Children Underground - part1

During the Ceauçescu-era contraception and abortions were forbidden and so thousands of unwished children were born. After the fall of Ceauçescu's dictatorship many of them ran away from the orphanges or their parent's home to escape the cruelty what happened to them in these places...

They live in the underground stations or in abandoned houses, they live in small groups with strong hierarchies, they copy what they have experienced in their life among adults, their lifes are dominated by violence, drugs and the daily struggle to survive in a hostage world, which offers them barely changes to escape it.

Thanks a lot for uploading. :) One question: have you edited this at all or is this the way it was originally edited? Seems a bit jumpy in some parts (I mean the editing), just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. :)

"Cristina Ionescu: Aged 19, had moved to a subway station near the Piata Victorei and was now the leader of an older group of children. Her appearance was disheveled and unkempt (unlike it was while filming the documentary) and she rarely changed her clothes. She had become addicted to heroin and she was also three months pregnant (the baby was later given away to a nonprofit organization working with street children).
