Born Into Brothels
Just watched Born Into Brothels, what a great film. It follows a photographer, Zana Briski, as she lives in the red light district of Calcutta documenting life there. She becomes very attached to the children who live in the brothels and teaches them how to take photographs. The children are totally transformed from the experience, finding a great deal of joy in making art. The film really showed the power of art to heal and to change lives. It’s a really touching and bittersweet film.
