Where The Kids Have No Name (52min00secs)
Director: Jamilllah van der Hulst
Production: Jaja Film
Bangla with English subtitles
Where The Kids Have No Name is a gripping documentary about street children in Bangladesh, offering an inside look at their daily lives and the challenges they face. More than 3.4 million children live on the streets of Bangladesh, where they represent the lowest level in society, enduring violence, abuse, and lack of access to education and healthcare.
The film is told from the perspective of street children, former street children, and social workers. Despite the overwhelming odds, a small group from the NGO LEEDO works on the streets every day, providing food, shelter, schooling, and basic support. This assistance not only helps the children survive but also builds the trust necessary to help them leave the streets for good.
