FRONTLINE/World investigates one of its own stories, The Play Pump, an apparently breakthrough idea to harness the energy of children to pump drinking water throughout remote areas of southern Africa. Now, correspondent Amy Costello investigates what happened to those communities as the promise of the PlayPump fell short and the device's biggest American boosters began to back away from a technology they had once championed.
