"I haven’t had a bath. I slept along the road. I don’t want to go back there because I’m afraid of being beaten by the broker again."By You Porny, Sao Seyha and Lach Sophy, and Sao Sopheak

The booming economy of Vietnam is evident in Ho Chi Minh City , and the Khmers who live in the nearby province of Svay Rieng , Cambodia have taken notice.
Since 1996, more and more Cambodians from the the Kompong Roug and Chan Trea district of Svay Rieng have been steadily trying their luck in Vietnam as beggars. Sadly, most of them are children.
While some children go with their parents, others are “lent” to brokers for a fee. These brokers use the children to beg, and have been known to torture children who don’t earn enough. These children also have to face the daily fear of getting caught and being imprisoned. While there are efforts by the government and non-government organizations from both countries to solve the problem, resolving the issue is not going to be easy.
The fellows faced numerous challenges in producing this documentary. They had a difficult time finding interviewees. To get permission to shoot in Vietnam , they had to go from one official to another. And, while shooting at a construction place where Khmer beggars were staying, they were stopped by the police.
The team brought this documentary to different TV stations in Cambodia , but they all found the material too sensitive for airing.

While the Mafia government enjoy power and multiM USD, these innocence kids are sufferings having no food to eat.
Wrong, those children lacking food
because their parents are jobless.
And we all know that Ethiopians
Racists like you detered jobs from
them by bashing everything that is
Khmer. Now there is no bussiness
person in their right mind would
want to do bussiness in Cambodia
because of the ugly image of
Cambodia that you showed to them.
I hope that you are satisfied with
yourself now.
I would suggest to you that, "you should have a HEAD TRANSPLANT". And may be a new body to go with it to look more like gay-ish.
Your discussion has nothing about its substance.
If it ever happen, I guarantee you that you are going to be the first in line.
My discussion has nothing about its
substance?
And just how much substances is in
your discussion, phoney?
Baboon, you're a recist yourself, for using the Ethiopain's name to tease others. Ethiopians are poor starving people and their name is not for you to use to mock others. Have some decency.

Well, they are a bunch of starving

life support system from them.
They are nothing but a big mouth
losers.

Ordinary Khmers
Good, and don't call us, let us
call you instead, okay?
But it's not right to use Ethiopian's name for mocking, you smelly baboon. They haven't anything wrong.
Well, if you have a better idea,
let us hear it, Puppy Face.
Just let that baboon go everyone! Its needs to go to its tree and play with itself. It's not worth talking to a babbon.
