Born Into Brothels
I recently watched a documentary called Born Into Brothels about children of prostitutes who live in the red light district of Sonagchi, Kolkata.
A documentary photographer, Briski, befriends the children, giving each of them a camera. The children learn to take photographs, viewers watch what a
normal day in the red light district is like, and Briski continues to help the children by trying to place them into schools.
This is a good documentary. I loved it when each child talked about their life and thoughts on various topics.
They all seem so bright and mature for their age. And even though they just began to learn photography, I was surprised to see how
nice their photographs were. They'd capture moments in time that I feel many people overlook.
Watch it and you'll know what I mean.
