    Ali Zaoua: Prince of the Streets

    In its own, low-key way, Ali Zaoua is just as stirring as City of God.

    Ali, Kwita, Omar, and Boukber are a group of street urchins living on the hard streets of Casablanca. Their lives are filled with violence, begging, and indifference. When Ali is killed, the boys find their bond of friendship and family severely challenged. Knowing he will be buried in a potter's field if they report his death to the police, they decide to give Ali a proper burial on the private island he often dreamed of.

    Winner of over 40 international film festival awards, Ali Zaoua: Prince of the Streets is a memorable and moving portrait of the lives of street kids.
