Season 6 Episode 16: Island of Compassion

The remote island of Nasake is a sanctuary for children forced to live away from their parents because of poverty, abuse, and other problems. But this spring, their foster home was moved to the mainland, forcing all the children to relocate. They leave behind their temporary home and the island's elderly residents, who have become like their substitute parents. Although they are sad and anxious, these kids slowly start to face their new reality. This documentary looks at their close ties to Nasake and captures their emotional farewell.
