Ayer me echaron del pueblo is a 1982 Colombian drama film directed by Jorge Gaitán Gómez. The film was inspired by the eponymous song written by Jose A. Morales. The plot follows the bitter life of a family of peasants forced to move to the city.[1]

Plot

Inspired by the lyrics of a popular nostalgic song, the film tells the story a family that is forced to leave their rural environment and escape to the big city due to pressure from a powerful landowner who deprives them of their meager properties. Overcome by the difficulties in their new hostile urban environment, the family of peasants descends into a tragic circle of poverty. Trying to survive the man falls from underemployment to delinquency; the wife from working as a housekeeper to prostitution and their children end up in the stormy life of street children.
