A Child is a Child (Because of other People) (2005)

With touching and inspirational hope, a group of children from vastly different walks of life gather at a recording studio in Durban. With death so prevalent in their society, their ultimate aim is to educate the world about the plight of orphaned children. But first, they must learn the song, and as they do so, they get to know one another. One girl lives in an orphanage, another is terrified her mother will die, while two brothers live on their own in their family house and walk two hours to school. As this achingly poignant and sensitive documentary unfolds, each child experiences another world and they learn to love, accept and respect each other’s resilience. And as they sing with gusto, the lyrics spread their new understanding of the true meaning of family, love and home.
