Over his mother's grave, Lucky vows to make something of himself. Leaving the security of his remote Zulu village for the big city with the hope of going to school, he arrives on the doorstep of an uncle who has no use for him. Lucky then meets Padma, an elderly Indian woman with an inherent fear of Africans, who takes him in like a stray dog. Unable to speak each other's languages, they develop an unlikely bond. Through an odyssey marked by greed, violence, and, ultimately, belonging, Lucky shows how a child's spirit can bring out decency, humility and even love in adults struggling to survive in the new South Africa.Not rated by the MPAA.DVD; DTS, 5.1 surround or stereo ; NTSC, region 1, widescreen (16x9) presentation; enhanced for widescreen TV (16x9).1- Subjects: Feature films.; Fiction films.; Dramatic films.; Foreign films; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Orphans; Widows; Children of AIDS patients; Friendship;

- In a rocket made of ice : among the children of Wat Opot / by Gutradt, Gail.;
"A beautifully told, inspiring true story of one woman's volunteer experiences at an orphanage in rural Cambodia--a book that embodies the belief that love, compassion, and generosity of spirit can overcome even the most fearsome of obstacles. Gail Gutradt was at a crossroads in her life when she learned of the Wat Opot Children's Community. Begun with just $50 in the pocket of Wayne Matthysse, a former Marine Corps medic in Vietnam, Wat Opot, a temple complex nestled among Cambodia's verdant rice paddies, was once a haunted scrubland that became a place of healing and respite where children with or orphaned by HIV/AIDs could live outside of fear or judgment, and find a new family--a place that Gutradt calls "a workshop for souls." Disarming, funny, deeply moving, In a Rocket Made of Ice gathers the stories of children saved and changed by this very special place, and of one woman's transformation in trying to help them. With wry perceptiveness and stunning humanity and humor, this courageous, surprising, and evocative memoir etches the people of Wat Opot forever on your heart"--Provided by publisher."The story of a woman who volunteers at an orphanage in Cambodia, set up by a Vietnam War vet for children with and/or orphaned by HIV/AIDS"--Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Children of AIDS patients; HIV-positive children; Orphanages; Orphans; Orphans;
