"A tribute to the resilency of childhood and the restorative power of art, Born into Brothels is a portrait of several unforgettable children who live in Calcutta's red light district, where their mothers work as prostitutes. Spurred by the kids' fascination with her camera, Zana Briski, a New York-based photographer living in the brothels and documenting life there, decides to teach them photography. As they begin to look at and record their world through new eyes, the kids, whom society refused to recognize, awaken for the first time to their own talents and sense of worth. Filmmakers Ross Kauffman and Zana Briski capture the way in which beauty can be found in even the seemingly bleakest and most hopeless of places, and how art and education can empower children to transform their lives." -- Back of container.
Le persone più marchiate nel quartiere a luci rosse di Calcutta, non sono le prostitute, ma i loro figli. Di fronte alla miseria più nera, agli abusi e alla disperazione, questi bambini hanno pochissime possibilità di sfuggire allo stesso destino della madre e crearsi un'esistenza diversa. Zana Briski, fotografa professionista, regala ai bambini una macchina fotografica e impartisce lezioni, insegnando loro ad apprezzare la bellezza e la dignità della loro espressività, rendendo la fotografia un mezzo di emancipazione. (LaFeltrinelli).
Quartier chaud de Calcutta : un groupe d'enfants inoubliables. Ils sont souriants, pleins de vie, malicieux et drôles ; ils sont fils et filles de prostituées.

Ils embarquent alors dans un voyage extraordinaire, en compagnie de la photographe new-yorkaise Zana Briski qui va leur enseigner l'art de la photographie.

"Two documentary filmmakers chronicle their time in Sonagchi, Calcutta and the relationships they developed with children of prostitutes who work the city's notorious red light district ... [Amidst] the apparent growing prosperity of India, there is a dark underbelly of poverty of another side of the nation that is little known. This film is a chronicle of filmmakers Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman's efforts to show that world of Calcutta's red light district. To do that, they inspired a special group of children of the prostitutes of the area to photograph the most reluctant subjects of it.

Film documentaire (Descripteur de forme)
Filmmakers chronicle the lives of prostitutes' children living in Sonagachi, Calcutta's red light district, by inspiring them to film and photograph the world around them.
Oscar-winning documentary by Zana Briski about the children of Calcutta's sex trade workers. Director Zana Briski went to Calcutta to photograph the children of sex-trade workers who carve out a Spartan existence among abject squalor. These children, some as young as 5, are forced to look after each other and dodge the blows of a society still based on a caste system of which they, or rather their parents, occupy the bottom rung. Briski was so moved by the children's plight that she became personally involved - the worst no-no of documentary making - and made a nonetheless striking feature length film about them. Embarking upon a photography course with the children, she asks them to take pictures of their everyday lives - discovering in the process a huge reservoir of untapped creativity and intelligence. The results are astounding and move Briski to attempt to get them enrolled in regular schooling against overwhelming odds - both state and family. The scenes of the group's first e.

La photographe britannique Zana Briski est devenue amie avec sept garçons et filles de Calcutta, âgés de 10 à 14 ans, ayant tous vu le jour dans un bordel. Afin d'aider ces enfants à échapper au cercle vicieux de la prostitution, elle leur apprend les rudiments de la photographie, les encourageant ainsi à décrire eux-mêmes en images leur vie quotidienne dans un quartier miteux et souvent dangereux. Grâce à l'argent provenant de la vente de certaines photographies, Briski entreprend d'inscrire ses jeunes dans des écoles privées. Mais elle se heurte alors à la résistance de leurs parents, ainsi qu'à la lourde bureaucratie indienne. Il en va de même lorsqu'elle demande un passeport pour une de ses recrues les plus douées, invitée à présenter ses oeuvres dans une compétition internationale.

Tells about the amazing transformation of a handful of these children, whose lives were forever changed by photography and the woman who brought it to them.
