电影简介：《Born Into Brothels 生于妓院》

印度盖尔各答的红灯区内，命运最坎坷的人不是妓女，而是她们的子女。面对赤贫、虐待和绝望，这些孩子几乎无法避免步上母亲的后尘，也难以创造另一种生活型态。

在《Born Into Brothels 生于妓院》里，导演泽娜布里斯基(Zana Briski)与罗斯考夫曼(Ross Kauffman)纪录在红灯区认识的那些孩子的惊人转变。专业摄影师布里斯基给孩子们上摄影课并给他们相机，点燃了这些孩子内心的潜在艺术天份，他们住在最污秽、看似绝望的世界。

这群孩子拍的照片不仅展现过人观察力与天份，更反映出一种更伟大、激励人心、撼动社会的真实面相：艺术确是一股解放心灵、赋予才能的极大力量。

《Born Into Brothels 生于妓院》不滥情，没有一般拍摄贫穷世界所呈现的赚人热眶一面。布里斯基花数年的时间与这些孩子相处，参与他们的生活。孩子们拍摄的相片是其心灵的照影；而非只是稀珍奇品或原始图像，那是一项无可抹灭的创意精神的力量之真实见证。

"Born Into Brothels"

is a documentary about the inspiring non-profit foundation Kids With Cameras, which teaches photography skills to children in marginalized communities. In 1998, New York-based photographer Zana Briski started photographing prostitutes in the red-light district of Calcutta. She eventually developed a relationship with their children, who were fascinated by her equipment. After several years of learning in workshops with Briski, the kids created their own photographs with point-and-shoot 35 mm cameras. Their images capture the intimacy and color of everyday life in the overpopulated sections of Calcutta. Proceeds from the sale of the children's photographs go to fund their future education. Directed by Briski and filmmaker Ross Kauffman, Born Into Brothels was shown at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004 as part of the documentary competition.
