Past Entries & Winners 2008

Winner

Hong Kong broadcaster TVB Jade won the ABU/CASBAA/UNICEF Child Rights Award 2007 for the documentary “Children Left Behind”.

“Children Left Behind”, a 30-minute documentary, chronicles the lonely lives of “home-alone” children in rural villages in China, a problem acutely felt in Hunan, Szechuan and Chongqing provinces. With parents migrating to urban centers in search of work, large numbers of children – over 22 million – are left on their own or under the care of elderly relatives.
