I am sure you have heard of kids skipping school to go swimming but not kids swimming to go to school. This was the reality for a whole community of children in the mangrove village of Layag-Layag in The Philippines. This remarkable story is shot in rugged documentary style, bringing you into the centre of their watery world. The hero of the film is the initiative that began with just one boat. Yellow Boat of Hope has now developed into a foundation supporting 40 communities and 8,000 beautiful children... and counting.
