)Synopsis:
DVD Cover:National Film Board of Canada wrote:Hopscotch is universal. Girls around the world trace squares on the ground, then hop through them, trying hard to reach the end. Girls share other interests too; they all like to talk about school, what they want to be when they grow up, who they will marry, how many children they will have, their hopes for a better life for themselves and their family.
But all too often, through poverty, perversion, spite, ignorance or superstition, adults shatter these dreams by denying girls the right to an education, entering them into forced labour, subjecting them to mutilation, sexual abuse and other injustices.
Soni, Kamlesh, Mou, Yui, Dalal, Esmeralda, Fatou, Adiaratou, Safi and Maude range in age from 8 to 14. Some are frail, some strong; all are beautiful. Whether they live in India, Thailand, Yemen, Peru, Burkina Faso or Haiti, they all speak of having much of their childhood stolen from them. Because they are girls. With subtitles.

Despite the subject matter, there's no real OT scenes; just children in 3rd world countries making the best with what life is offering them. Sadly nice to hear their hopes and dreams, though... :sigh....
There's been some discussion about creating a new 'forum' for Documentaries. That might not be such a bad idea. There's quite a few OT documentarys out there...
kev.
There´s a lot of excellent documents which get somewhat lost when in "national" forums.
