This film won an Academy Award for the best documentary in 2004 and it is definitely worth watching. In this compelling documentary, Zana Briski, a photojournalist, trains her camera on the children of the red light district in Calcutta. I was mostly struck by the uncommon wisdom of kids who are as young as ten. They possessed such a calm, philosophical view of their plight, that it left me speechless. Zana's mission is to give these children hope, and she does it by teaching them photography. Given a chance to unleash their creative spirit, the children produce some amazing photographs.
If you watch a documentary this year, make sure it is this one.
