MHRFF Quebec Prize for Socially Engaged Documentary

Boys between 7 and 18 talk about their living conditions of their lives in Sri-Lanka, Brazil, Bolivia, Burma and Mali. Marco, Shiran, Reynaldo, Mohamed and Myo Min are victims of forced labour, aggressions, abuse and violence of all kinds. Nevertheless, they are able to forget with their balloons their hard daily life.
