Review of Born into Brothels: Calcutta's Red Light Kids (2004) by Brian W — 17 May 2008
Absolute mandatory viewing.
At times both heartbreaking and uplifting, this documentary explores the red light district of Calcutta and the women and children who live there.
Zana Briski is a photographer who gives the children hope by teaching them her skill.
The blatant and abuse that the children are subjected to, and the absolutely palpable hopelessness they feel is unimaginable to me, even though I saw it with my own eyes.
Something no one should be allowed to forget.
