A window on the world of childhood in 12 parts, narrated by Judi Dench.
5: Melinda, Tammy, Yasser, Jarry, Cayo, Jose and Edison's working lives. Throughout the world millions of children work to survive, sifting rubbish dumps from dawn to dusk in south east Asia, shining shoes in Latin America for long hours and little reward. What does it cost children to work for a living? How much of their childhood do they forfeit?
