Journey of a Red Fridge
2007 Serbia/Montenegro
Duration: 53 mins
Overview
Hari Rai is a 17-year-old student who lives in a small village in Nepal. To support himself and pay for his education, he works as a porter. In this documentary, Rai is hired to carry a Coca-Cola refrigerator to a repair shop, and the footage follows him through Nepal's stunning mountainscape—past tourist-filled hot springs, Buddhist temples, herds of goats and small villages. Rai shares his thoughts, beliefs and hopes for the future along the way. The four-day transport is a poignant portrait of child labor. Supported by the Global Fund for Children, Journey of a Red Fridge takes an unforgettable look at the state of Nepal’s 60,000 child porters.
