Yonkis: Teen Produced Web Series Set In Medellín

Yonkis: Un Mundo Gay Adolescente is a new web series directed and produced by 19 year-old Colombian video blogger, Jhoncito Arango.

Set in Medellín, the series revolves around a group of gay teens — Juan Pablo, José Julián, Miguel, Jerónimo and Esteban — members the “Yonkis” gang . In the first episode, Juan Pablo, leaves home after falling out with his homophobic father and settles in Medellín where he meets a new group of friends — the “Yonkis”. The gang shows him around the city and introduces him to the rival “Pink Boys” gang.

In episode two, one of the “Pink Boys” steals a bracelet Juan Pablo received from his ex-girlfriend. When the “Yonkis” go to get the bracelet back, they are challenged to a dance-off by the “Pink Boys”. The two gangs meet in a park, and as they prepare for the choreographed dance competition, they realize that reaching common ground is harder than they thought.

The Yonkis web series has been featured on “Version Beta“, a show produced by regional TV network Canal Une, and streamed online by Puntolink.

Producer/director Arango is a multitasker extraordinaire creating, writing, acting, directing, producing and editing the series. He is currently attending university in Medellín.
