The director of the film, Zana Briski, spent her time with the children in red-light district of Calcutta, India, whild shooting the film. She tried to observe their daily lives and reflect it into the film. She said that her role is neither that of a teacher nor a volunteer but a participant living together with people to understand their lives better.  While watching the film, I was aghast at such unsanitary living conditions, the misery and the struggling of the lives in those places. But the children brings out smiles of the viewers. and hope that there is still much better laid out for them in the future.  The film starts by handing out cameras to the children in the red-light district. They are taught how to use them, so they can capture their daily lives and other things attractive to them. The children, having a camera for very first time in their lives, work deliciously with their children minds: taking pictures ridiculously, realistically, in any ways, in the end showing their lives. It was the director's intention that the children come face-to-face with their lives, and along with that they use the cameras as methods for education.    UPCOMING EVENTS Human Rights School for Middle School (3 September) Human Rights School for High School (10 September)
