This week, Born Into Brothels opens theatrically. The film is a documentary that follows Zana Briski, a photographer, as she befriends and teaches photography to children of prostitutes in Calcutta's red light district. I was able to see this film this summer at a screening at the Museum of Television and Radio and it was very moving. The filmmaking was not spectacular, but it was mostly do to editing and that's likely been fixed by now.

The reason I'm bringing this up is because Jori helped out a little bit with promotion early on. So, I feel connected and I want to see this succeed. On top of that, the story is truly unique and it was chosen as the best documentary of the year by the National Board of Review.

As a result of her experiences in India, a non-profit organization called Kids with Cameras was created by Zana. The page also contains the official Born Into Brothels page.

If anyone would like a viewing buddy, I'll be happy to see it again.
