Aro Recommended Born Into Brothels

 

aka: Calcutta's Red Light Kids
USA / India 2004, 83 minutes
Dir. Zana Briski, Ross Kaufmann
In English, Bengali with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Documentary / Sexploitation

 

Aroview: Heartbreaking examination of the lives of children born into the world of prostitution in Calcutta's red light district, but given a ray of hope through the art of photography.

In the 1990s, dir. Briski documented this squalid scene and encouraged the children she saw to develop skills in photography to escape the downward spiral of life. Returning to actively promote their cause, Briski finds real talents among them and there seems a real possiblity she can assist... A good example of 'activist documentary' making.
