Streeters is a realistic portrayal of life for underrepresented communities. It centers on authentic ethnic identities and critiques traditional power structures. While it provides a nuanced look at survival, it lacks specific representation for LGBTQ+ identities and visible disabilities. The film’s strength lies in its unromanticized depiction of life on the streets of Mexico City.
