 cinema & contribute

You can support the children by buying the 2 Disc Special Edition DVD.

An essential part of making this film, for the film makers, is to raise awareness and continued funding for housing and education for the children depicted in the film. EMS FILMS has individually dedicated a percentage of the film's world wide-revenue's to support the construction of the new school and sustained social work of the principals of The Golden Horse Temple and their community of orphans.
