Gerald, Ruben, Neysa and their friends are children and adolescents who work as wheelbarrow pusher at a market and as prayer boys in a cemetery in the region of Cochabamba in Bolivia. With their own labor union – the Bolivian working children’s union UNATsBO – they will present their ideas and defend their right to work in front of the parliament, where a new legislature concerning working children is decided. “To work is to grow” presents some working children’s opinions about child labour, but also these children’s actual work. Work becomes a tool to empower and grow – through one’s good as well as one’s bad moments.
In the 2017 RAI Film Fest
