Very good work, you handled the topic well and really got in with the children, this is a very sad story that not a lot of people know about. My only suggestion would be a different font for the inter-titles, the silliness of the font doesn't really mesh with the topic. Otherwise good work!
Thanks for uploading-

Not a pleasant and easy lifestyle for children of any age. These children are very young and have to battel to survive, just hope that now the Khmer war torn country can rebuild rapidly.
I thought the scene with the Children stating their name & age was uneccesary. Subtitles would have been enough, allowing the viewer to get directly to the issue which is underprivledge children.
Worthy of a bigger audience.-

Nice but I want to know who buys this books? and what are the books about? I mean do they sale at all? Latino America is full of children wokers. And China s well. In fact perhaps the film stock or the computer I am using right now has been at some point made with the work of children.

Great access.well done on your film guys, the kids clearly took a liking to you. I remember the streetchildren selling books well from my time out there. Please do have a look at my POD about Sihanoukville's Street Children if you can find a decent internet cafe!

This video was amazing! Great job! And as I was watching it, I was almost in tears because I actually knew one of the girl in the video, Ny! She's a great talker, very sweet child.

very sad, seen at first hand many times, had flat in Phnom Penh for couple of years.
so sad, schooling should be the answer but as the film says parents use their children for their "tourist friendly" appeal.
a young book seller i met worked morning till 11 pm regularly. poor kids, my girlfriend ( Cambodian) Chan used to say to them why do you not go to school, you must get an education but , of course, family obligations prevented this. and yes, i saw parents sleeping on the riverfront whilst their children worked-
