Eugenio's Close Up: Inside the Slums of Buenos Aires Synopsis

Eugenio's Close Up: Inside the Slums of Buenos Aires A professional photographer seeks to infuse his Buenos Aires slum with art, creativity and free expression. As with so many of the marginalised shanty towns of Latin America, there is a wellspring of violence and economic despair. Caught in the ever-shifting instability of Argentina's economy, there is little chance that these slums will be transformed or that their residents will be able to easily escape the country's cyclical poverty. Despite this for Eugenio, a 32-year-old photographer who still calls the slum of Villa 15 his home, there is a persistent richness to the life around him, and hope.

Eugenio's Close Up: Inside the Slums of Buenos Aires (2016) is a documentary film directed by Ana Soledad Ahumada, released on April 26, 2016 with a runtime of 25m. It stars Eugenio.
