One is a teenage Honduran boy in the MS13 gang (notorious latin american gang) and the other a teenage Honduran girl.
If you've seen City of God and enjoyed it you'll like this flick as much if not more. It's in Spanish with subtitles but the dialogue isn't too heavy so it's not bothersome. If you watch it, please post your thoughts!

If you like stand up comedy, these are available for instant streaming as well:
Daniel Tosh - Completely Serious (think i've watched this 10 times and still can't stop laughing each time)
Zach Galifianakis: Live at the Purple Onion
saw this post and was a huge fan of sin nombe so decided to watch the Daniel Tosh stand up as I had never really used netflix instantly for their stand up options, found it very entertaining so looked up other ones
I just finished "Doug Stanhope: No refunds" and found it hilarious and recommend it to anyone looking for stand up....some might fight it offensive as hes pretty unrelentless and seems to be fully aware that hes a chain-smoking alcoholic but could care less at this point ha
With that, any stand up on instantly anyone here highly recommends? So far I have only watched the one i referenced above, "John Pinette: Im starvin'", and "Daniel Tosh: Completely Serious". Have on my queue to check out "Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity", "Joe Rogan: Live", and "Louis C.K.: Chewed Up....looking for any more
as for movies that are less known that I enjoyed or have on instantly to watch that i can recommend to others that are lesser known:
-exiled: foreign action movie, good for people that like complete action storylines as its more the unrealistic fight sequences but I found it entertaining, worth the watch, and it portrays a strong sense of loyalty
-sin nombre: highly recommend
-dont know if its been mentioned, prolly has: "king of kong: a fistful of quarters" - most entertaining and best documentary ive ever seen
some I havent watched yet but plan on doing, you can check out the plot synopsis and see if you're interested:
-the twilight samurai
-il divo
-primer
-11:14
-gomorrah
-audition
-following (Christopher Nolan's first full-length film he directed so i have big hopes for this one)
