"Born into Brothels" (2004)
Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman
Admist the apparent growing prosperity of India, there is a dark underbelly of
poverty of another side of the nation that is little known. This film is a
chronicle of filmmakers Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman's efforts to show that
world of Calcutta's red light district. To do that, they inspired a special
group of children of the prostitutes of the area to photograph the most
reluctant subjects of it.
