CPOY 72 Documentary Bronze: The Neglected

The orphanage in the city of Orhei in Moldova is the residence of some 200 boys and men, who are physically or mentally disabled. Moldova is the poorest country in Europe, and poverty is the main reason that many parents are forced to surrender their kids to orphanages. Common for most of the boys is that they lack the care and attention of a family, which is crucial to their emotional development. In order to protect the boys the institutional policy requires their names be anonymized.

The boys are playing outside either alone or together in groups. They entertain themselves, when the social workers are too busy elsewhere.
