I saw this documentary film Born into Brothels that I LOVED. About a photojournalist who goes to Calcutta's red light district to take photos of the women and ends up meeting the children and teaching them photography. The kids are amazing both at the art and just as resilient little people. It is sad but also really moved me somehow. I may get to do a review of it for the Culture section of Sojomail.
www.kids-with-cameras.org--Go here. There are several projects like this. In Calcutta, Haiti, Jerusalem and Cairo.

I loved it so much I felt ready to shell out the $35 for the book. What a good idea.
