Mahyad Tousi takes us
into Iran for an intimate portrayal of disadvantaged children supported
by the Child Foundation. In 1994,
two
cousins,
one
in the U.S. and the other in Iran, started a charity to help children
from
low-income families to stay in school. in 2003,
as the first generation of these children graduates from college, it
is the largest Iranian charity organization in the world. Since its
creation, the Child Foundation has helped more than 10,000 children in
Bosnia, Afghanistan, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. (English/subtitles)
