Born into Brothels

I love exploring things, the more if they are free. (hey dudes, i atleast admit it on my blog so go ahead and read what i have to say). So i was on this website bittorrent.com and found out that i could lot of movies for free "free movies" section. You guys can check that too. I came across this documentary feature "Born into Brothels". The title itself will intrigue you. But i do possess s fair amount of good knowledge about movies as i like them. I knew "Born into Brothels" was awarded an Oscar in 2004 but had never seen it. This was 4 years back. The director and producer got all their stuff done even back late and so now i assume the fate of those 9 targeted children may have changed a lot since then.

To put in my own words, i have to commend and appreciate the efforts of Directors "Zana Briski" and "Ross Kauffman" who have come out with such a brilliant masterpiece. I love watching documentaries, this interest got created few months back though. An excellent documentary, the best i have seen before about 9 kids living in Calcutta's (Metropolitan in India) Red Alert area. Born to prostitutes, these bold kids tell a story though every corner of their life.
You may forget your fears and apprehensions if you watch these kids who have come out in open and expressed themselves in the best possible manner. This wasn't easy coming out, to speak in front of the camera. All kids are contained in a bottle of emotions and these emotions coming out like bubbles. They live a life in pain, agony, frustration, anguish, poverty and broken fate. It almost impossible to change the destiny of these kids who already have compromised their life, whose bodies are traded for even before they come into this world.

I remember some of the words that came out from these kids mouth. Avijit says "We dont have money to live, let alone studies....". Avijit gets to goto Amsterdam for a photo competition. Manaki says "I worry i might be like them someday". For the bold Shanti "one has to accept life as being sad and beautiful". The shy Tapasi says "even if i was poor, i would have a happy life. I never really think about being rich".

So disheartning that these kids know a lot about physical lives even before you and me did. Some scenes are shocking and may bring down a tear down your cheeks. The theme of this feature isn't meant for that but will make you realize that today you are at a much better position than these kids are. Indians are talented and you can see that happening if you nurture a child right from beginning.

I am moved and touched by this documentary. Credit goes to all but not the least to kids Shanti Das, Avijit, Suchitra, Manik, Gour, Puja, Tapasi, Mamuni and Kochi. A must watch for every person living on this planet !
