The medium that gives voice to those who have no voice is radio. In northern Iraq, seven young journalists, Muslims, Christians and Yezidis, are giving their microphones to those who want peace. They work for Radio Al-Salam, a station free from political and religious influences. In total freedom, voices are raised on the airwaves and bring back the link within a nation.

Near the apocalyptic scenery of a Phnom Penh garbage dump where children live and eat, Christian and Marie-France have been fighting to educate these little ragpickers for a decade.
