The Forgotten (known in the U.S. as The Young and the Damned) tells a story of a never-ending cycle of poverty and despair. In the film, a group of juvenile delinquents live a violent and crime-filled life in the festering slums of Mexico City, and the morals of young Pedro are gradually corrupted and destroyed by the others. Acclaimed as a masterpiece, The Forgotten won Buñuel the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival and was inscribed on UNESCO's "Memory of the World" Register in 2003 in recognition of its historical significance.
