For the last 30 years, Island filmmaker Len Morris has filmed on every continent and across the U.S., observing the changes that have occurred, for better or worse, in children's human rights. Drawn from never-before-seen footage, his latest film examines child labor in American agriculture as well as in tobacco, coffee, and cocoa farming elsewhere. It considers the plight of children on the street or in prison, and the massive inequality that consigns some to forced labor and contributes to 13.7 million fleeing for their lives. A measure of the gains made through advocacy, and a look at a new generation of youth activists and leaders, this film is a personal salute to the beauty and resilience of children.

Tickets for this screening are general admission, and pay-what-you-can.
