The story will follow the lives of several children who are placed on the street for begging. Karamoja women who have fled Karamojaland because of famine and conflict have found a way to survival in the city. They form networks in the ghetto's and share the task of placing children and babies out on the street; these children are often left alone and in direct sunshine. The structure of the film will be a series of interviews with some of the women and children. This will be interspersed with artwork to help illustrate their stories. Artwork and Animation workshops will give the women and children involved a creative and alternative way to express themselves. It will also help to raise the profile of the Karamojong by showing they can be productive. Estimated length 30 minutes.
