Taken for a Ride

Streaming video - 1984

Two homeless boys, Mick and Sauly, live in a fictional big city that looks much like New York. They want to fulfill their dream of escaping to the ocean. Through their travels, they visit strange places, where they encounter fantastical situations and dubious characters, including: a villain who allegedly stole and sold Sauly’s guardian angel, and a white racist farmer who hates anyone who is different and distrusts people who move around the world. TAKEN FOR A RIDE is a road movie filmed in the USA, Cuba and Bulgaria that critiques social discrimination, injustice and the abjection of poor people. By the director of 'Jacob the Liar' and 'Trace of Stones.'
