From the long-running German documentary program, "Fremde Kinder," comes this short piece showcasing 11-year-old Stasio Komorowski, a young Polish boy who takes to the streets everyday in an attempt to make money by selling postcards. Stasio's life is marked by the so-called "uncivilized capitalism" which has been spreading across Poland over the past several years. The 11 year old is one of countless Polish children who have taken to panhandling on the streets to support their unemployed parents.
