    In this first episode of a new investigative documentary series: To the end of the world, DVB delves into the lives of some of the thousands Burmese children forced to work in dangerous, dirty and demeaning jobs to support their families.

    Secret video footage shot inside the Shwepyithar Industrial Zone in Rangoon suggests that it is not just tea shops and farms that employ children, large industries too appear guilty of breaking Burma’s newly instated labour laws.
