A documentary that broadened my narrow horizons. (It is worth my five stars for her and them) My previous impression of the sons of prostitutes tended to be blank, and even preconceived that they did not learn well. But this film made me realize that these precocious children still retain the sparkling innocence and fun, so simple and so pure. In the confused red light district, they still have kind hearts, which is so rare. I am happy, the photography class directed by Zena gave the children the happiest childhood time! Between the passage of light and shadow, the children use their most unique worldview to instantly solidify the reality into eternity! Zena's figure running for the future of her children will move me from time to time. The humanistic brilliance of her body makes me feel a kind of reassuring warmth off-screen. This may be the deepest power of film and television language. As a woman, traveling to India's most famous red light district for a few years just to take pictures of local women and children is something I can't even imagine. (Perhaps I was stereotyped by the rape cases in India) Some voices said, what is the use of making this documentary, only one child, Aji, got rid of this kind of life, and the other children are still living as usual, Among them, the "baby" even became a local prostitute for the best actress Oscar. Zena is clear that the fate of these children, she can only do her best to protect. Of course, a person's power is small after all. But the documentary, let more people know about this group, will there be less prejudice and stereotypes about them, maybe more sons of prostitutes can get educational opportunities, thus changing the fate of more children? What's the point of this documentary? Here before me, it did.
