This documentary chronicles the stories of five youngsters struggling to overcome their illiteracy and poverty on the streets of Cambodia.

A heart-warming film by Heather E. Connell, who spent several years documenting the struggles of the street and garbage dump children of Cambodia. She brings the film to life through the sights and sounds of Phnom Pehn and gives the film its soul through the voices of these children as they share stories of their lives and their dreams for the future. They are the first generation of children born to survivors of the Khmer Rouge and have learned to survive in an economy and society struggling to rebuild itself.
