It Was Them

A portrait of the highs and lows of Jonathan Velasquez, Eddie Velasquez, Frank Navarrette and Carlos Ramirez, a group of friends from South Central L.A. who look to find their footing as immigrants in the foreign and labyrinthic streets of Paris. The film spans over a decade in the lives of the nomads and features an original soundtrack written and performed by the subjects.
