The child that I connected with the most in the movie, “Born into Brothels” was Puja. She is a young and beautiful girl that is growing up in the Red Light District of Calcutta, India. Throughout the entire documentary, Puja was always shown laughing and never seemed to go anywhere without her smile. She is often singing, giggling, dancing and cheering her friends up. For example, just as they were in the van leaving for their new boarding school, Puja’s friend sitting next her started to cry.

With that goal and that methodology, it's virtually inevitable that there will be some failures” (Singh, 2005). This is perfect. It’s a great example of Briski’s unfailing determination to help the children have better lives. It’s wonderful to witness the unselfishness of some people who completely sacrifice their live to help the less fortunate. It really encourages me to help others and want to do it too. Look how many lives you could potentially
