Children in debt

There is a saying in Latin America that children are born with a loaf of bread under their arms. Today’s children in the Third World are born with a heavy burden on their backs, the foreign debt. In real life scenes shot in Argentina, Bolivia, Perú and Colombia, we see children, the innocent victims of this situation, talking about their lives. The film ends as a young Peruvian girl, picking through the rubble in a garbage dump, calls for people to unite.
