'Ali Zaoua: Prince of the Streets'

I always wonder if I lived in a third-world country if I would know how to survive. I assume learning how to survive is as natural as actually surviving.

It's like an elephant knowing it had to find a tree with leaves to eat, but also knowing how to use your trunk to get the nourishing leaves. Seems like two different things but maybe it's not.

Do street urchins in Morocco get hungry and they automatically know to dig in trash or to steal in order to eat?

This film reminds me a lot of "Slumdog Millionaire" and similarly eye-opening in terms of how many kids live and the hardships they not only face, but embrace to a point.
