The story

What Is Little Pioneers About?

The premise of Little Pioneers without spoilers.

In the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the government claimed it provided for every citizen and that each child was a proud 'little pioneer.' Yet the promise hid a harsh reality: Roma families and other poor children received no assistance, and many were left in poverty on the streets.
