German-born American photojournalist Perry Kretz documented – on assignment for Stern magazine – the lives of street kids in the Colombian capital of Bogotá in the late seventies, a period when the influx of US dollars related to drug trafficking generated an unprecedented economic boom to the country, which consequently resulted in the aggravation of class differences and social vulnerability.
Die kleinen Banditen von Bogota [The little bandits of Bogota] opens with a text by journalist and author Rolf Winter, who later became editor-in-chief of both Stern and GEO magazine.
