Review of Born into Brothels: Calcutta's Red Light Kids (2004) by Tom C — 06 Mar 2007
This Oscar winning documentary proves just how high the human spirit can climb to overcome adversity. Zana Briski turns the hackneyed stereotypes from a red light district into a full-bodied examination of the human condition.
For as much as these children can rise to the top of their potential, they are still captive to the undercurrents of supersticion, ignorance, and cruelty swimming around them.
