A look at child labor in the early 20th century in the United States as represented through the photography of Lewis W. Hine. The film documents the use of child labor in industry, including the exploitation of children and the lower classes in American society. Many of the jobs were extremely dangerous and numerous children and adults were injured or killed in the attempt to advance in society. The viewer must understand the context of the situation at the time and think of the individuals from the perspective that it could be one of their ancestors, in order to fully grasp the emotion of the video.

LOL. Well they have been through a rough time. Most of us take it for granted, and complain about little things. We need to show the world about the truth and change ourselves and our way of thinking.

I believe that being spoiled is better than working in sweatshop 7-8 hours a day making 25cents a day.

Excellent observations my Slavic brother! You must be a man of excellent qualities to possess such penetrating wisdom. I sense that a strong man like you could lead these lost children into a brighter future for us all.
