"I Want to be a Doctor" is a short promo docu-film about an 8-year-old street child, Sugeng. We will see two opposites lives of Sugeng. The first part of the docu-film portrays his life as a child who works in a garbage dump. He has to work under the heating sun and breathe obnoxious smell from heaps of garbage. It isn't long until he leaves the place and wanders at beaches and on streets, along with other street children. Yet, beaches and streets are not a safe place for children. They are prone to sexual abuse, exploitation, and trafficking. Sugeng also shares a depressing story about his family. One night, a social worker from Peduli Anak Foundation finds him and other children. The foundation works to improve the life of street children like Sugeng. The second part gives us the big picture of the foundation's work. Sugeng, now having lived in Peduli Anak for three years, takes us on a tour to see his daily activities. We can see how Peduli Anak has changed his life from a sad and no-future street child to a happy and smart boy.
