Directed by Sarah Minter • 1986 • Mexico

Sarah Minter’s howl of punk angst follows teenage Kara as he boards a train without a ticket or destination, leaving behind the slums of Ciudad Neza where he once raised hell with his friends. Cutting back and forth between Kara’s anarchic escapades as a member of the Mierdas Punk gang and his desperate, increasingly hallucinatory journey into the Mexican countryside, Minter vividly renders his character and milieu with a raw video palette. A companion of sorts to SHIT SATURDAY (the two films even share some of the same footage), NOBODY IS INNOCENT reveals the agony as well as the ecstasy of youth living without a future.
