It never ceases to amaze me how much one person can do to change the world. I watched Born in Brothels last night. It is a documentary of children growing up in Calcutta's red light district. The movie is unique in that it is told through the eyes of the children. Photographer, Zana Briski, grows to love and care of a group of young children while working in the brothels of Calcutta. She begins to teach them how to use cameras and take pictures. Some of these kids are amazing young photographers. Using only the tools she had, along with a deep love and willingness to change these young people's lives, Zana made a huge difference. I love this story and these pictures are incredible. Deeply moving and worth the attention it has recieved.
