Live the Dream Films
Born into Brothels is a story about about Puja Mukherjee - a 10 year old girl who was born in red light district.. She has a strong personality.. and its a story of her life.. how she saves 9 of her friends in escaping prostitution.. but what happens to her in the end is most shocking.
This film is a chronicle of filmmakers Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman's efforts to show that world of Calcutta's red light district. To do that, they inspired a special group of children of the prostitutes of the area to photograph the most reluctant subjects of it. As the kids excel in their new found art, the filmmakers struggle to help them have a chance for a better life away from the miserable poverty that threatens to crush their dreams.
We are dedicated to discovering, making, and distributing best of class documentary films covering socially-oriented topics of the day. The human condition, as expressed through commercial-grade film production, is one of the most least understood and valued experience in our society. Through the documentary process, Live the Dream Films can show that the things that bind us together as a society and people are stronger than the things that tear us apart.
