Child Labour

Synopsis
Investigates child labour in Pakistan, and features 12-year-old activist Iqbal Masih - tragically shot while the film was being completed. Despite the fact that virtually every country has now ratified international treaties banning the practice, there are still almost 200 million child labourers world-wide. Industrialised countries such as the USA, Germany, the UK and Japan benefit by purchasing products from the developing world, made by children working in abysmal conditions.
