Born into Brothels

Last week, the Alabama International Relations Club (AIRC) viewed a trailer for the documentary Born into Brothels. I found it absolutely compelling, because not only did it tell the shocking story of prostitution in Kolkata, but it did so through the lens of the children of prostitutes. Several children were given cameras and told to take pictures of their everyday experiences, and the result is this film. AIRC is scheduled to screen the film later in the year, and I think it would be a great idea if our class decided to go as well (even though 2/5 of the class will already be there!).
