Born Into Brothels: Calcutta's Red Light Kids (2004)
"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. As the kids excel in their new found art, the filmmakers struggle to help them have a chance for a better life away from the miserable poverty that threatens to crush their dreams." -imdb.com
Almost cried at the end,but just about managed to get a grip of my weak assed self.
Such an awesome bunch of kids,some very cool characters,and as a photographer I was rather jealous of their work. Avijit also had a real talent for the shpiel,theyd love him in posh New York or London galleries,he'd make a fortune with an art/waffle combination like that!
Hope those guys are all happy and doing well for themselves.
