Can a Cambodian circus pull children out of poverty by training them to become top-class performers?
All eyes are on Nov Sreyleak as she launches onto centre stage with acrobatic stunts at the Phare Cambodian Circus big top. The crowd erupts.
She is living out her childhood dream. It is a big leap from selling rice snacks on the streets to feed her family.
One in five Cambodians live below the poverty line, even more in rural villages.
Back in Sreyleak's hometown, children still scavenge dumpsites to help their families survive.
