Film Review:


I just love documentaries because it tells what reality is going on the community, no scripts and purely the true behind of the title. This documentary was my most favorite one because of the good shots, because of the organize scenes and most especially the story itself by the children. It also made me realize a lot of things how important education is, how important to be guided by the parents, how important to give appreciate thing in a little way. In this documentary, I appreciate the three different jobs by the different children. They have different experiences but the common denominator are; they don't have a proper education, their parents don’t have enough money to support them so that they would stop working and send them to school and they have big dreams that they want to achieve.

This film purely captured behind the scene of the work of the children. Their story was about why they choose that kind of job? Why they stop studying? What will happen to their health if they continue to work at the very young age? And, what are their dreams?

As I watched the film, a lot of question come across my mind, a questions that I can’t figure out why this children already experienced this kind of life but as I continue to watched the documentary somehow it serves a controversial to the government that despite of their million and millions of programs put up for a certain projects there are still this kind of alarming situation by the children who don’t deserve this kind of life.
