Took a day off from working on my new apartment to go to San Francisco and see the film "Born into Brothels".

A photographer lives in Calcutta's red light district off and on for several years so she can get close to the people there to make photographs. Anyone close to the brothels cannot help but be close to the many children there. She teaches them how to use a camera and how to take pictures, and works to offer some of them a future beyond the street and the brothel...

Born into Brothels is a wonderful, humane and sensitive piece. Definitely worth the effort to find and see.
