Filmed “Children of the Trains” in Thailand 2007 and 2010 we returned for updates of all the people involved in this story.
Filmed mostly in Bangkok and greater Bangkok, some shots were far afield in rural dairy farms, mountains, and even the dirtbag town of Pattaya.
In 2007 we filmed there for most a month every day. We interviewed Father Joe of his charity institute, numerous Railroad Police officers who donated their time every month for homeless work, and the Senator: Prateep Ungsongtham Hata (Thai: ประทีป อึ้งทรงธรรม ฮาตะ;) who is a Thai activist noted for her work with slum dwellers in the Khlong Toei District of Bangkok, Thailand. Among her supporters, she is known as Khru Prateep (“Teacher Prateep”), the “Angel of Khlong Toei” or “Slum Angel”. She was born in Khlong Toei where most of this documentary was filmed.
