Children of the Trains plot

What started as one man's attempt to care for a few street children in Bangkok grew into a collective railway police organization to protect and shelter homeless children in the city's streets and slums. This documentary offers a look at extreme poverty and its greatest victims: children. If they manage to survive, they often end up in a life of drugs and violence. This film shows a glimmer of hope, because small local efforts can sometimes have far-reaching positive effects.
