Abstract:

Between the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar (formally Burma) pedophiles from around the world come to abuse children from ages five to 14 that have been sold into the sex trade in what is called the "Golden Triangle."  Feinbloom's short documentary follows human rights activist Sompop Jantraka (founder of the Development and Education Program for Daughters and Communities) who has devoted his life to ending the child sex trade.  DEPDC has been working since 1989 and at the time of the making of the movie had rescued over 1,000 children.  The movie gives a brief glance at how this organization impacts the lives of children and the communities they are involved in.
