Stolen Childhoods
A wrenching documentary about the growing plague of exploitive child labor that engulfs over 246 million children around the world. In extraordinary footage of their working conditions these poor and enslaved children tell their own stories about being forced to pick pesticide laden tobacco, coffee and vegetables, about kids chained to looms and boys kidnapped to work on fishing platforms at sea, girls forced into prostitution and children scavenging at dumps; cogs in the global economy and a breading ground for terrorism. All these children tell their stories in their own words. The film gives voice to children still trapped in this kind of life and it also celebrates the resilience of kids whose lives have been saved. - Click here for more dialogueAbout this entry
