Born into Brothels

The movie Born into Brothels was a movie about children in Calcutta who were brought up amongst the most deplorable settings of human existence. What amazed me the most was the essence of hope in the children's eyes amidst the darkness of their dwellings. I was very interested about how the children used the camera as an outlet of emotions and a springboard to education. Born into Brothels was very emotional and compelling. The old saying that everyone can be taught regardless of economic background was very true in this movie. Watching the children in the film made me critically analyze my own methods of teaching. I am very glad that the children from Calcutta were able to excell beyond their current situations of poverty and education and that there are people out in the world who believe that one person can make a difference. I hope there is a follow-up movie in the future with the status of the children growing into adulthood.
