Groundbreaking VICE documentary reveals the truth about child labour in Nepal

For Immediate Release

In Nepal child labour is illegal yet even politicians own brick factories that regularly employ children as young as 6 years old.

A half-hour documentary for VICE World News that has just been broadcast, is a result of a collaboration between a UK charity, Our Sansar, and the British Award-winning journalist Sahar Zand.

Following a year-long under-cover investigation, this documentary exposes 6 brick factories in Southern Nepal, two of which are owned by high-ranking local politicians, employing hundreds of children, some as young as 5 years old. The work is dangerous and exploitative. The film ends with a rescue operation run by the Our Sansar charity, which involves getting the children out of the factories and into schools, whilst supporting their families along the way.
