Think Before You Give
Documentary
In Cambodia’s bustling tourist areas, children often sell flowers and trinkets on beaches, masking the harsh realities they face. Think Before You Give highlights the hidden consequences of these purchases, following a young boy forced to work late, impacting his education. The film sheds light on poverty, substance abuse, and exploitation that drive children into labor. M’Lop Tapang provides support services, including education, job placement, and rehabilitation, helping break the cycle. The film urges tourists to support sustainable solutions instead of perpetuating harmful practices.
