Have you heard of it? It's a must-see and I rarely say that. It's an academy-award-winning documentary about kids born to prostitutes in the red light district of Calcutta learning photography. These kids..their pictures...just wow. They have little canon film cameras and don't even know how to work the flash...I think I can honestly say their work is the best I've seen.

Their teacher held auctions of their photographs at Sotheby's..come on! That's a dream come true for any artist let alone 8 year olds :-) Inspirational to say the very least. This documentary told their life stories as well.
