A revealing picture of what life is like for the 2/3 of the world's kids living and growing up very quickly in developing countries. This is a free flowing piece, a collage of voices, from Africa and Central America. It consists of interviews with all the parties involved, from the kids themselves, to the parents to the NGOs who aim to help them. The kids interviews are often translated/read in english by Western kids which is a effective juxtaposition. The parents featured often expressed pride that their kids can contribute to the families wellbeing; the NGO's offer a pragmatic view of their work in developing countries, which recognises the needs of the families involved whilst trying to encourage/enable school attendance etc to improve.

Could make a powerful contribution to a program focusing on western kids lives, or any program dealing with issues facing the developing world HW.
