Across the world today, 152 million children are engaged in child labour.
On the United Nations World Day Against Child Labour our pick for our Short Film of the Week is Coal Boy from Why Poverty? - a powerful narrative that follows a young boy from the Jaintia Hills of northeast India as he descends everyday into the ‘rathole’ coalmines.
In the dark he dreams of digging to the ‘other end of the world’. But are the inequities of the world too vast for the boy’s hope to become reality?
