And here's another interesting film:

 

[from the website; see link below:]

Award-winning film "Born into Brothels"

 

Born into Brothels, by Ross Kauffman and Zana Briski, is the winner

of the 77th annual Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. 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. Zana Briski, a New York-based

photographer, gives each of the children a camera and teaches them to

look at the world with new eyes.

 

The film, released by THINKFilm, premiered theatrically at the Film

Forum in New York City in December 2004. It has since opened in over

one hundred theatres nationwide. It will premiere on HBO/Cinemax in

July 2005.

Namaste Everyone-

I still have to see Born Into Brothels-I've heard it's extremely powerful.

Another recommendation I want to make is "Bride and Prejudice" - a Bollywood

take on "Pride and Prejudice." It's a really fun movie:) Jai Maa!
