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. 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. While documenting the experiences of
prostitutes in Calcutta's red-light district, photojournalist Zana Briski
befriended many of their children and decided to provide them with a chance to
record images from their own lives. Supplied with cameras by Briski, the
children present a portrait of their harsh world that is both unique and
insightful. The result of this is a remarkable and moving film that features the
seven children as both subject and collaborator, as they discover their artistic
ability. The sale and publication of the children's photographs, in New York and
Calcutta, help to raise funds to put some of the children into high schools and
boarding schools, providing the opportunity for the girls whose fate, without
formal education, would most likely be prostitution.
