SYNOPSIS
The social-impact documentary explores “Volun-tourism”, the merger of adventure travel and humanitarian aid work, by following the challenges and lessons learned of grassroots, non-profit PEPY during their first year working in Cambodia. The film confronts personal and political potholes that stand in the way of doing aid work responsibly and raises crucial questions about the nature of giving and our potential to be activists for change.
