Film Screening: Stolen Childhoods | Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Narrated by Meryl Streep, Stolen Childhoods is a documentary feature film about the 246 million child laborers in the world today. Extraordinary footage and interviews with child slaves and kids working in poverty reveal young childhoods stolen away. The film shows best practice programs that remove children from work and put them in school, so that they have a chance to develop as children and also have a chance of making a reasonable living when they grow up. Stolen Childhoods challenges the viewer to help break the cycle of poverty for these children laboring at the bottom of the global economy. It is a shocking, hopeful and energizing film and a call to action.
