Born Into Brothels
Being Netflix subscribers, we have access to many movies that you wouldn't expect to (or can't) find on the shelves of your local Blockmonster. Recently, Beth and I watched a movie that we found both moving and significant. Born into Brothels is an Academy Award winning documentary that looks at the lives of 8 children born into the notorious brothels of Calcutta as told by Zane Brisk, a New York based photographer who befriends and teaches these children. With her help we get to see through their gifted eyes and their photography, the abject poverty and inhuman prospects that these children have to face. You want the best for these kids but you realize just how fragile their hope really is. If you get a chance to see this movie (and we recommend you do) and would like to get involved, there is now a charity called Kids with Cameras that benefits these children and others like them elsewhere in the world.
