Review of Born into Brothels: Calcutta's Red Light Kids (2004) by Jean B — 23 Jun 2007

I normally prefer fiction to documentaries because the latter tends to be depressing. However, this one was eye-opening, informational and uplifting. Yes, it's true that not all the children enrolled into school stay in school or that all of them have hidden photographic talent, but it gives me hope that they are not left with nothing.

I am crossing my fingers that this movie inspired the international powers that be to provide more of these opportunities to children out there with so much to give and to absorb in their molding years.
