Whose life is it anyway?

Description

250 million working children are a shameful scar on the modern world. Declarations by the United Nations, the efforts of NGOs, consumer boycotts and campaigns by journalists have done little to reduce the number. The working children of India are tired of waiting. They are now getting organised, publishing newspapers and asserting their rights. On her fifth investigation into the problem, human rights correspondent Sue Lloyd-Roberts admits she has failed to understand the problem in the past and discovers a very different point of view from the children themselves.
