Born Into Brothels

In the movie, Born Into Brothels, the children were revealed to anyone watching the movie. This includes anyone across the world with a tv and an interest to watch this movie. If you think about the movie in the way that the children's lives were "on display," then hopefully you'd say it wasn't fair. Personally, I don't think that I would want my childhood on display, especially if it was like these children's. If you don't think about their lives being "on display," then you see children who are open to help. The documentary may deceive you by making you think they love every part of being taped. We will never know for sure. Parts have been left out of the movie. As for parts being left out of the movie, I would hope that the children could ask Briski to leave a certain part out if they were really uncomfortable with it being seen. I think that she chose this brothel and this group of children for a reason. They trusted her and were eager to learn. In the end, I believe that the children were appropriately portrayed and ok being in the documentary because it ultimately helped them. I would deem this documentary successful in the sense that it made Briski look like a Good Samaritan and put the problems of the children out into the public in hopes to get support for her organization. The end left you with a good thought to donate to Kids with Cameras.
