00:00In July 2013, a truck overturns on a route to the north of Argentina.
00:07Two children die instantly and several are seriously injured.
00:12The news reaches the media without much repercussion.
00:17One more accident.
00:19A driver who got distracted.
00:21The brakes that failed.
00:23And the weather that didn't help.
00:26But those children who died weren't going to school or going on vacation.
00:31They were going to work.
00:33To work in the yerba mate fields.
00:38A few months later, we traveled to Misiones and interviewed the workers of the task.
00:44We saw how they lived.
00:46They told us that it was normal to see children working in the yerba fields and that no one controlled them.
00:53Back in Buenos Aires, we made public a documentary that had a strong impact on the world and civil society.
01:24Several political and trade union leaders committed themselves and promised us changes.
01:30But time passed and nothing changed.
01:34One of them confessed to me.
01:37Until one of those boys doesn't talk to you on camera, none of this is going to change.
01:43And that's why we came back.
01:45For that testimony.
01:47For that boy.
01:53For that boy.
