CHILDHOOD OF THE DEAD was first published in 1977 and was made into the internationally acclaimed motion picture: PIXOTE, THE LAW OF THE WEAKEST. It reflects life in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo of the previous decade. But the problem of street children remains. Like Dito, they still wash windshields at stoplights; they beg at restaurants for food; they peddle chewing gum and Kleenex packets; they pick pockets and snitch things from cars; they steal handbags and prey on tourists, just as they do now in major cities in the U.S. from Los Angeles to Miami.
