CHILDREN OF GOD explores the life of the children who live beside the
Bagmati River in Nepal on the sacred grounds of a Hindu temple in
Kathmandu, an area forgotten and ignored by the world but considered the
holiest and most sacred to the Hindu people.
The children are
undeterred by the daily cries and wailing from the daily funeral
ceremonies; instead they rob the corpses for food and dive into the
river to grab coins used as funeral offerings by the mourners. Some risk
their lives by begging while others fall prey to drugs and disease. The
documentary exposes the social conditions of the suppressed Nepalese
people through the plight of their children, where reverence for the old
and dead far outweighs the care for the young and living. Experiencing
their innocence and their hardship through songs, stories and
heartbreaking living conditions, CHILDREN OF GOD exposes the
contradiction of the material world that rests upon perhaps the most
spiritual culture on earth.
