Chop Shop
Drama
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.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at a young boy navigating a harsh urban landscape. It feels like a dusty, forgotten corner of Queens, where resilience and dreams flicker amidst the grit and grime. A quiet, character-driven experience.
