Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Las tres mil viviendas' was Spain's most stigmatized neighborhood, often called 'Europe's biggest drug supermarket' in headlines. Abel spent years building trust to shoot there.
The musical numbers weren't scripted — residents improvised their own songs about daily life, making this closer to ethnofiction than traditional documentary.
