Review of Garden

This is not the type of documentary I usually take the time to watch, but this one grabbed me and wouldn't let go. I was drawn into the lives of Nino and Dudu and unlike other films that center around runaways and prostitutes, I began to care about these two boys and really root for them. I think it was the dynamics of their friendship that make the film so intriguing and different than other documentaries that would film each subject separately, unable to tie the characters together in a way other than the fact they both work the same strip.

** slight spoiler ahead**

I would really like to know if the filmmakers have any updates on what has become of Dudu and Nino. Was Nino able to finish his time in the reformatory? Did they survive? Are they still friends? Has Nino seen his family? Has Dudu given up heroin?
