About Born Into Brothels:
A tribute to the resiliency of childhood and the restorative power of art, Born into Brothels is a portrait of several unforgettable children who live in the red light district of Calcutta, where their mothers work as prostitutes. The filmmakers give each of the children a camera and they learn to look at the world with new eyes. The film has received over 40 awards, including National Board of Review Best Documentary 2004, LA Film Critics Best Documentary 2004, the Sundance Film Festival Audience Award in 2004, and the 2005 Academy Award for Best Documentary. The film broadcast nationally on HBO, and is currently available on DVD.
