Born Into Brothels (DVD)
Winner of the 2005 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature
BuzzFlash.com Review (excerpt)
This is a remarkable documentary that squeezes an ounce of hope out of the dismal, seedy life of a Calcutta neighborhood of prostitutes. Seen through the prism of the innocence of children of multi-generational "sex-workers" and through the lenses of their cameras, "Born Into Brothels" offers a scintillating experience of documentary photographs taken by young people within a documentary about them and their squalid social conditions.
At the center of the film is a female photographer who becomes mentor, teacher and advisor to a group of remarkable youth who learn to see the cul-de-sac of their family lives in a different light, by turning the world into art with a camera. Despite its dreary setting, this is not a somber film. In fact, it revels in the opportunity and hope of childhood, even if circumstances often conspire against it being fully realized.
