The Power of Photography

This evening on CBC Newsworld I watched the documentary Born Into Brothels, about a filmmaker/photography who lives in Calcutta's red light district to document the lives of the women who live there. Instead, she stumbles across a whole population of children living in the area and introduces them to the camera and the art of photography, which brings hope and empowerment to their impoverished lives. The images the kids capture are absolutely stunning as they reveal the conditions in which they live from the whimsical perspectives of a child.

It's repeating this Saturday, Nov 12 on CBC Newsworld at 10pm. Watch the film.

hey, i very randomly came across you after searching for shoes on google acutally lol, but i read this entry and had to comment. I watched this doco a few days ago and found it so interesting, probably because it was so different to anything ive ever watched and the children in it were amazing kids, the images they captured were facinating, so beautiful because they were from the prospective of a child. just thought id mention it... :)
