[edit] Information

Reporter Evan Williams and director Laura Warner travel to Nepal to investigate the growth of 'voluntourism', where Westerners donate time and money to help vulnerable children in Kathmandu's orphanages. Filming undercover in orphanages, they discover that many children are not orphans, but have been taken from impoverished parents. The team discover evidence that such children are mistreated and used by orphanage owners to attract money from donors. The orphan industry is now so lucrative that children are a valuable commodity.
