From Pnomh Penh, Al Jazeera's David Hawkins reports on the young street preformers who demonstrate Cambodia's broken system of care for the parentless children.

  • Thank you for sharing this video. It is heartbreaking!

  • @OoLadaoO some time u can't blame everything to government good example this dude he the one that do it gov can't see everything his eye not God eye. other example how many people in our family we can't looks over for every children some are bad some are good. gov running the whole country i'd say hug big family can't see every one that smart (_I_) doing bad.

  • i would say that put that dude (director) back in jail hahaha

  • None of this changes the fact that Cambodia was ravaged as a result of US intervention and bombing under Nixon and Kissinger. How does the world benefit from this piece, AlJazeera? Please invest your influence and efforts into something more worthwhile...

  • @xSlientKnightx Yeah and i believe Burma as well. All hail the 200 foot gold tower

  • @Asiankidz1 calm down, asian kid, no need to use naughty words, it was obviously a joke (hence the lol, but maybe you got lost in translation,). besides, be more conscious of what comments are you replying to, mine was made 1 year ago.

  • @ImaSumac4ever yeah he was an orphan DUMBSHIT

  • So this orphanage is corrupted but that does not mean all the other orphanage is corrupted. We must continue helping the childrens with more caution and appropriate way. there should always be a guide to follow when helping these orphanage.

  • Hey! They're all living on survival mode and that's what they have to do to get by. It's sad, but it is what it is living in a 3rd world country.
