After Christine Ross moved into a brand new home on the southwestern fringe of Albuquerque last fall, she and her three-year-old sharpei-labrador mix, Ruca, went for a walk nearly every evening. Usually, they would venture inside a cinderblock wall where the spiny desert scrub had been smoothed over in preparation for a housing development that never materialized. That's where they were walking a month ago when Ruca spotted what to a dog is considered a treasure: a bone jutting from the sandy soil. Ross had an uneasy feeling about the find, however.

The children were taught to take photographs and sell them. "The kids have earned over $100,000, which goes directly to their education," says Ross Kauffman, one of the film's producers. Two of the children have gone on to study in the U.S. Still, the kids have to make the choice themselves to better their lives. Some of them have great difficulty doing so. One of the girls has apparently fallen back into...
