Best of the Week: Born in the Brothels

           This week we watched a very uncomfortably truthful film of children born into brothels in India. Just like so many underprivileged children, they grew up in an unloving, dirty environment. Although we are constantly told about underprivileged children and what we can do to make a difference, seeing footage of these very intelligent kids who have no hopes for their future but to work in the brothels like their mothers made me understand the realization of the struggle for so many children. They really are hopeless for their future because no schools will take kids who are from brothels in India. I believe that all people should have the rights to start their life clear of their family's history. To have a burden to carry starting from birth is an unfair truth that these kids face. They truly want an education and this film we watched help me to understand that. It rises awareness of the horrors that are happening right now, and by filming that, hopefully it will cause someone or some group of people to step up and make a difference.
