This episode of Open Secrets investigates the disturbing reality behind so-called orphanages in Cambodia, where many children are not actually orphans but are placed in residential care to attract donations from tourists and volunteers.
The documentary exposes how this industry operates, revealing how vulnerable families and children are exploited for profit. Through on-the-ground reporting and interviews, the film uncovers the systems that allow these practices to continue and the impact they have on children’s lives.
This is a powerful investigation into exploitation, poverty and the hidden truth behind a global charity system.
