I just watched "Street Children in Mongolia". It is part of the "What's Going On" series. This series was made for school aged students to show them what other children are going through in poverty stricken areas of the world. The film was put together by the United Nations and Zenger Media (Social Studies School Service). The film takes place in Ulanbaatar, the capitol of Mongolia. It shows the story of four young homeless children. Included is how they survive on the streets and why they left their homes. They have to deal with hunger, cold, and violence on a day-to-day basis. I chose this DVD to review to help out one of my student project groups that chose Mongolian poverty as their research topic. This DVD puts a face on poverty in Mongolia.
