Tuesday, April 11              FILM: Born into Brothels - In Calcutta’s red light district appear a group of unforgettable children. Feisty, resilient and wickedly funny – they are the children of prostitutes. Trying to evade a doomed future, they embark on a transformational journey with New York based photographer Zana Briski, who teaches them photography. Devoid of sentimentality, Born into Brothels defies the typical tear-stained tourist snapshot of the global underbelly. Briski spends years with these kids and becomes part of their lives. Their photographs are prisms into their souls, rather than anthropological curiosities or primitive imagery, and a true testimony of the power of the indelible creative spirit. Winner of the 2004 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Discussion facilitator: Sara Sullivan, Psychology. FREE. 7:00 p.m. Main Hall Auditorium, UW-L.
