The documentary, Born into brothels, takes place in Abinash Kaviraj lane, Calcutta, India. Zana Briski, the professional photographer and director in charge of this documentary, shows many different perspectives of the children’s world in the brothels. It takes courage to move out of your own country for several years to go and explore someone else’s ‘’world.’’ She shows many faces of the children’s world and how she taught them photography, and showed them the world outside the brothels. Briski records examples and real life events, we can see the different ways people live and how they treat their children. This documentary can be interpreted in different ways depending…
Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman’s Born into Brothels is, in my reckoning, a quiet miracle, a feature-length documentary that follows and transforms the lives of seven children growing up in the squalid red light district of Sonagchi, Calcutta. Carefully avoiding bathos and melodrama, Briski and Kauffman pull us deeply into the everyday existence of these kids - the verbal abuse and beatings, the drug addiction and atrocities,the desperation and impoverishment, the rage and apathy that perpetuate their misery.…
The doctrine of slavery still holds fast in countries like India, where low class mobility and few economic opportunities are primary causes of child slavery. By enslaving children, one is placing fetters on the crux of their development. Children in India that are forced to work as slaves certainly don't have access to education. Deprivation of opportunities is a cruel manifestation of slavery. When applied to children, this deprivation ensures the continuation of the status quo for many lower class citizens : lifelong enslavement.…
The information given in this article is very distressing. Dresen gives disheartening details to the lives of these children. Kids are abandoned by their families and left to provide for themselves. In one part of the article, Dresen provides specific examples of how some children became homeless:…
Citizens today can live in their luxuries, though consequently, children around the planet endure pain due to them. The story “states,” The terms are strict and absolute; there may not even be a kind word spoken to the child.” (Le Guin 6). This statement represents the case of many of our world’s slums, factories, and other child labouring industries. The ‘Ones Who Walk Away’ leave the city with ‘valiant’ intentions, but, like many people today, are not acting to alleviate the situation.…
As we have learned in this class, orphanhood offers many complexities and tribulations to those children which this circumstance has affected. The plight of the orphan is singular and unique to each individual; however, in some cases there are geographical, political, cultural and/or other variable factors that affect very large populations of orphans, sometimes unilaterally. This appears to be the case for orphaned children living in sub-Saharan Africa. Geographically, sub-Saharan Africa consists of all the countries located south of the Saharan dessert in the continent of Africa. Orphans living in this area of the continent face severe complications that are unique to their location. Orphans in sub-Saharan Africa are severely misrepresented and…

India is a country in central Asia with a population of over 1.22 billion people making it the second most populous country in the world. Its high population is one of the factors that results in India having such a high poverty rate. In India today over 37% of the population live below the poverty line. The reality of such a statistic means that these people live in conditions unimaginable to people of the western world. In the film Slumdog Millionaire by director Danny Boyle deeper ideas associated with this poverty are developed including destiny, loyalty and how poverty frees us. These deeper ideas are developed through visual techniques such as colour, lighting, `cinematographic techniques and editing techniques.…
The moment I looked out the window of the car and my eyes turned to the row of homeless people weaving its way through the traffic begging for money, I jumped out of my seat. It was my first visit to India after leaving the country for the United States. The homeless people's’ hands were making weird gestures and thumping the windows of the honking cars. I could not digest what I was seeing! While reaching out to an old woman to give her some money, I thought about what non homeless people could do to help those without a home and basic needs. Then, I asked myself a question. Why not give them something that will be with them forever and help them out of their poverty and teach them valuable skills? After all, a mountain of…
Child trafficking is a ghastly reality that stares in the face of the civilized global community. Children constitute one-third of India’s population i.e. 1.21 billion people, which means India is home to 400 million children and every sixth child in the world lives in India. Child trafficking is an unbearable social menace.…

Just like for any child, these African children who are not given the basic needs for life such as food and clean water, suffer in every aspect of life. Most of the poor children have to worry about things at such a young age that most people never have to worry about, which messes up their emotional and mental state of mind. They have to worry about things like their and their family’s health issues, if they are going to get to eat, and making sure they walk to get water. On top of all that, many kids are orphaned at a very young age, which leaves them to take care of themselves and their younger siblings. If the child’s mental and emotional state gets messed up when they are so young, they will live with that the rest of their life.…
