Street children's daily struggles on the Cambodian-Thai border | Full Documentary

This film is the portrait of a young Cambodian, Vuthy, who has chosen to dedicate his life to improving the lives of others. For nearly fifteen years, he has been working with the NGO Friends International as head of a small team on the Thai-Cambodian border. This is a very sensitive area, and many Cambodians come to Thailand to try their luck, hoping to earn enough to support their families. Unfortunately, as they are often outlaws, they find themselves up against human trafficking networks and corruption. Many fall into a downward spiral of gambling, drugs, begging and prostitution...

For more than four years, the film crew accompanied Vuthy as he worked with street children and illegal migrants, on the frontier between two kingdoms, between legality and clandestinity, between childhood and wandering, innocence and violence... As they met him, they were able to penetrate the world he lived in, to share his moments of solitude and doubt, but also the good times with his family and friends. Lives on the Border reveals the destinies and actions of a handful of men and women fighting for the future of hundreds of children and families. Vuthy gives these street children a home away from the dangers of the streets. The NGO "Friends Thailande" teaches them to read and write, as well as looking after their health. But the struggle to improve the lives of these children is not without its difficulties. Most of the families are dysfunctional and live a fragile daily existence, offering no healthy living environment for these children.

How many per cent were Muslim children living like these street kids....

[@personalelorenzo6922]

Unfortunately it is a worldwide phenomenon

[@jamestucker9524]

@@personalelorenzo6922of course it is worldwide. I’m living with a poor family in the Dominican Republic. Fortunately with my contribution to rent and food they are able to get by fairly well. I bought a large freezer which they put frozen ice cream that their children sell at the nearby army base. Recently we’ve employed neighbors children to sell ice cream as well. It makes me happy that those children can buy clothing and sandals with the money that they make. Otherwise, since most of them are extremely poor they might be begging on the streets instead.
