the best is yet to come...
One of the many reasons why I love the Nickelodeon theater:
MAY 23-26 MONDAY-THURSDAY
Showtimes nightly at 7:00 & 9:00 (+ 3:00 matinee Wednesday)
BORN INTO BROTHELS
2005 Academy Award™ winner for Best Documentary. Photographer/photojournalist Zana Briski overcame barriers of language, culture, and ethnicity when she spent several years in the red light district of Calcutta, where she ran a photography class for the children of prostitutes, encouraging them to document the squalor and the vibrant humanity that surrounded them. The seven children featured in this lovely documentary are not only her subjects, but her collaborators, and it is thrilling to watch them discover their own artistic talents. “…a story that yields both optimism and a recognition of just how cruel and intractable the conditions that face these children and others like them really are.” - A. O. Scott, NY Times 2004 India/USA. Bengali/English. Rated R for strong language. 85 min.
