Born into brothels 2004

Sometimes there comes along a movie that moves you so much that you realise the true power of the moving picture. Here is a movie that leaves you in love with the characters. Zana is a photographer in calcutta's red light district, she befriends and teaches photography to the kids. And what kids!!! you fall in love with them from the moment they come on screen. Their hopes, their life and ultimately their shattered dreams.

I was moved and even worse ashamed, every person trying to do good in this documentary was a foreigner. the people running the schools to the photographer trying to showcase their plight. Please watch it...you might be shaken enough to do something or at the least be thankful for the little things that you took for granted.
