Chop Shop is a 2007 American drama film co-written, edited, and directed by Ramin Bahrani.

The film tells the story of a twelve-year-old street orphan living and working in Willets Point, an area in Queens, New York, filled with automobile repair shops, scrapyards and garbage dumps.

Ale makes additional money by selling unlicensed DVDs, selling hubcaps he steals from cars parked at the nearby stadium, and working for another auto shop owner, Ahmad (Ahmad Razvi) by stripping down a stolen car.

With his dreams crushed, Ale goes to the stadium and snatches a woman's handbag and gets a phone he fails to sell.

There, he begins to attack the man receiving fellatio from his sister, before the two of them run back to the auto shop.

The film ends the next day with Ale feeding seeds to the area's pigeons to cheer her up.

Chop Shop was filmed and takes place in the neighborhood of Willets Point, Queens in the area around Shea Stadium.

It describes the consensus of reviewers as, "Filled with excellent performances, Ramin Bahrani's deft sophomore effort is a heartfelt, hopeful neorealist look at the people who live in the gritty underbelly of New York City.
