At the Gates of Hell, Ep. 01 - Broken Children - Colombia

View on the Pragda STREAM site

Childhood is not a happy time in Colombia. It can mean living in constant threat of being coerced into gangs or caught in the cross-fire. In the forgotten barrios of Bogotá and Medellín, children find themselves hired as killers or forced into prostitution before they have left their teens. We give voice to this lost generation.

At the Gates of Hell explores some of the deadliest parts of the world where escaping abuse, exploitation, extortion, and even death is a daily battle. This series takes us deep into hidden worlds in Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Brazil.
