Born Into Brothels

2005-03-20 03:23:42.674+01 by topspin 0 comments

In a nice, short weekend trip to Atlanta which included Dim Sum, boots from REI for Ann, and a trip to the always wonderful Harry's Farmers Market in Alpharetta, our decision to go see Born Into Brothels was an excellent idea.

Typing about the movie's affect is even difficult. It stuns not only with the direct, honest approach to the issue, but also with amazingly twisted social fabric it deals with. The complex interplay of the "ordinary" lives, the unmet needs, the aspirations, and the resignation of the children defies comprehension. It's like trying to make sense of someone who would swerve a car deliberately toward a child.

In a world obsessed by "Reality TV" this is a dose of the real thing.
