8:00pm
$5

"Stolen Childhoods" is the first-ever feature documentary on global
child labor. Filmed in eight countries (Brazil, India, Pakistan,
Indonesia, Kenya, Nepal, Mexico and the United States), it tells the
stories of the millions of child laborers around the world, in their
own words. "Stolen Childhoods" is narrated by Meryl Streep, and
includes interviews with Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai, US
Senator Tom Harkin, and Founder of the International Labor Rights
Fund Pharis Harvey. Directed by Len Morris, "Stolen Childhoods" won
"Best Feature for Children's Advocacy" at the 2005 Artivist Film
Festival in Los Angeles. It not only has extraordinary footage of the
growing problem of child labor, but it also depicts solutions:
offering governments, NGO's, individuals and communities an
opportunity to do something about this critical global labor rights
issue.
