Underground succeeds in delving into the pasts of the children and showing how most of them were doomed to wander the streets. Why the glut of street kids? The answer is economics. The film opens by explaining that Romania's ruling dictator banned abortion and contraceptives in order to build a stronger work force. This led not to more workers but to more children born to impoverished families who already couldn't support themselves. Facing certain starvation and/or abuse, the children fled to the streets.

Every day they wake to that grim knowledge and greet it with a bag of paint in hand. Even the meager efforts of some aid work- ers aren't enough to jolt the children out of their hell. The most disturbing aspect is that the cameramen refused to intervene in the children's lives. Instead, they documented every- thing with a cold and detached lens. In one case, they filmed as a rival gang accused Ana of stealing some drugs. Cowering against the subway wall, she sobbed that she had done nothing.
