"Going
Back Home"
This gripping one-hour documentary on street children in Brazil
features compelling stories of kids who due to the extreme social
inequalities of the country were forced to live on the streets, facing
a life of danger, prostitution and drugs. Taking a positive
standpoint on the subject, Going Back Home documents projects run
by non-government entitities that work on a daily basis to reach
out for street children and bring them back home, reintegrating them
into their families and social life.
Directed by Richard Wolf for TV Cultura, the largest public
television station in Latin America, Going Back Home won the international
Emmy award, as well as the EFE (Spanish News Agency) award and
the Ayrton Senna journalism award.
