Nonureva Really Surprised!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

In return, she offered to teach the prostitutes' children the basics of photography so that the kids could document their own lives on the streets of one of the world's poorest cities. Born Into Brothels: Calcutta's Red Light Kids will entertain fans of documentaries and men and women of patience but unfortunately for those who might expect something more?

vorlac the ones left in this film are as follows;"the son of a sex worker is avijit, a little fat living in India, he's an emotional and fragile boy, he's got a poison-like mind, allah's ability to pay taxes, he can take very good pictures, he just prints the shutter, and the rest is spontaneous. It's a photo machine gun, and as we touch the trigger, there's an idea about how people live, about the most sad ...the children of Calcutta, the puppets of life ... in the presence of pity they can create a feast for you or thank you. the capital of western Bengal in India. I think that the most important port of India is here because she is a life-lady too. I do not know what you understand from the word of the poor. I would argue that these people are really poor.Brisbane's ... someone who has done something sacred. even a single child has a tiny positive influence on your life, the world always changes. briski has done it. so my idol gap can fill up.

Kusumika Ghosh I felt shudders after watching this documentary. I belong to Kolkata (Calcutta), and all Kolkatans know this place exists. We have accepted this devil's den in the center of the city and do nothing about it whatsoever as we feel it is not our job. I never gave it a thought until now that there could be children out there being dragged into this racket. I am moved and stirred. The little children are so naive, so pure , so innocent that it makes my heart wrench. The harsh reality is it takes a lot of courage and endurance to move out of the influence of this sucking hole. Some struggle it out and flourish while others are lost in oblivion.

MartinHafer If you are looking for a 'feel good' movie or one that gives you a strong feeling of hope, then you probably should not watch "Born into Brothels: Calcutta's Red Light Kids". It's a generally depressing film and offers a few tiny rays of hope by the end of the film...but only a few.Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman traveled to India and befriended a group of children and their families living in the brothels of Calcutta, India. How exactly they arranged all this is not mentioned in the film--it just begins with Zana spending time with a group of eight of these kids. She has taught them to use cameras and they are chronicling their lives in a crappy neighborhood--living amongst poverty and depravity. The filmmakers are not social workers--just filmmakers and photographers. Through the course of the film, Zana spends much of her time not just instructing the kids on photography and taking them on outings. She also tries to get the kids in boarding schools as well as one special kid a chance to go to an international photography conference in the Netherlands. But, despite her best efforts, the kids and their families have this strong pull--a pull to keep them in the gutters and on track to repeat the family pattern of prostitution, drug abuse and early death.Overall, an oddly compelling and ultimately depressing documentary. However, it is not without merit and I can see how it won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. It is well constructed and fascinating...and quite sad.
