. Briskie came to the area to teach children photography and
wanted to change the fate of these children through photography.
Is there any hope for them?
They are children born in brothels, lack of care, and discrimination
. Briskey's efforts are finding boarding schools for children. At that time,
a teacher brazenly said that "no one wants to accept the children of sex workers"
and even the school asked to hand in the children's AIDS medical report, etc.
Although Zena's unremitting efforts have won this group of children. The opportunity to go to a boarding school and in the
end, due to various reasons, only three children continued to study,
but
through the camera, we can see that the world in their eyes
is so full of color and vision
, even though they are pushed out of society and live a humble life You can see their innocent smiles and
they are all film masters.
Among these children, I especially like Kiki.
When I see her small body squatting on the ground to wash the pot,
when she says she wants to leave this place and want to go to school,
when I see her working hard with longing eyes When I was living, I
was very distressed but I couldn’t help
. Fortunately, with the help of Zena, Qiqi was able to grow up happily in the boarding school and read well.
I hope this will change her life
. Feeling
that fate is in our own hands or in God's hands
If fate is in our own hands, then why are there still children who cannot complete their vision of reading and cannot leave this land of dirty minds?
If fate is in the hands of God, does that mean that no matter how hard we try, we can't break free from reality? But I 'm
still glad that these children in the film still
have the help of the photographer and the chance to change their fate.
Some of them keep moving forward with hope, some let go of hope and let
them go with fate. Who knows ? When
I was young, I acquiesced that there was no future for me,
even though photography brought them only a ray of warm memories in the dark life,
but at least there are still children working hard for their dreams, right?
