Movie Night: Born Into Brothels

WHEN: Friday Aug 15th, 7:30pm
WHERE: ACC Lighthouse/Carey Building

Join us this Friday as we watch this Academy Award Winner for Best Documentary Feature (among many other awards). This tribute to the resiliency of childhood and the restorative power of art, portrays several unforgettable children who live in the red light district of Calcutta, where their mothers work as prostitutes. Zana Briski, a New York-based photographer, gives each of the children a camera and teaches them to look at the world with new eyes.

We'll watch the movie together (bring a drink cuz we'll bring snacks!), followed by a stimulating discussion about the issues of the movie.

Curious about the movie? Watch the trailer.
