Born into Brothels
Cert: 15 Year: 2004 Length: 85 mins Language: Subtitled
Synopsis
While documenting the experiences of prostitutes in Calcutta's red-light district, photojournalist Zana Briski befriended many of their children and decided to provide them with a chance to record images from their own lives. Supplied with cameras by Briski, the children present a portrait of their harsh world that is both unique and insightful. Thus was born Kids with Cameras, a unique outreach programme still running today in Calcutta. Meanwhile she tries to get them out of the brothels and into schools. An honest account of children living on the edge but filtered through hopeful and positive eyes.
