Short summary
A documentary that sheds light on the lives of children living on the streets of Brazil.
A documentary by Maine filmmaker Chas Bruns that sheds light on the lives of children living on the streets of Brazil. The film follows Maine artist John Whalley and his wife and actress Ellen Whalley as they travel to central Brazil to live and work with boys who were saved from a life on the streets by the Florida based NGO, Renaissance International. Coined "The New Horizons Youth Ranch" by founder Steve Solomon, the 150 acre tract of land has become home to over 200 children since 1991. The ranch includes home-dormitories, a dining hall, administrative offices, a chapel, classroom buildings, as well as athletic fields where the boys play soccer, volleyball, baseball and basketball. In addition, there is a pond for swimming, a nature trail complete with vines for swinging and several streams and waterfalls. The film begs the question, "Where would these children be without New Horizons Youth Ranch?"
John Whalley met Erika Bruns in a doctors office and told her about an orphanage that he worked for in Brazil. She in turn told her brother and filmmaker, Chas Bruns, about John's orphanage. Chas emailed John and asked him if he'd like to film a documentary about the orphanage. John said yes and they began production on New Horizons: Brazil one month later.
