First Friday Film Festival

We are thrilled to present the next First Friday Film at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship this Friday!

Born Into Brothels: Calcutta’s Red Light Kids (2004)

Don’t miss this inspiring jewel of a film that concretely gives hope and shows us life through the photography and vivacity of children, and shows what a huge difference one person can make.

This film won an Oscar as well as Best Film awards at film festivals around the world. It is certainly worth seeing. The film is rated R for some sequences of strong language.

Anyone who has ever thought that documentaries lack the emotional impact, drama or sheer moviegoing pleasure of fiction films will likely change their mind after seeing “Born Into Brothels”. A look at children growing up around prostitution in Calcutta, India, this is a work of art so deep and resonant that it puts most narrative films to shame. - Hollywood Reporter
