| Club Of Small Men, A | ...Little boys in Bali are called 'small men' and this is the story of a group of 'small men' who became a musical legend.

He was moved by the music and the POVERTY that surrounded him to buy instruments for the children of the village where he lived and the boys went on to become famous for their playing all over Bali.
