Stolen Childhoods

The first in a trilogy of films about children's human rights, Stolen Childhoods is the first feature documentary on global child labor ever produced. The film features stories of child laborers around the world, told in their own words. Children are shown working in dumps, quarries, and brick kilns. The film places these children's stories in the broader context of the worldwide struggle against child labor. Stolen Childhoods provides an understanding of the causes of child labor, what it costs, what we must do to eliminate it. (2005)

Narrated by Meryl Streep.
