"Born into Brothels," the 2005 Oscar-winner for Best Documentary, is the story of director Zana Briski's time spent teaching photography to the children of Calcutta's red light district. This charming book displays the results of the project: poignant and winning photographs of one of the world's most impoverished areas by eight local children. The book makes it clear that Briski succeeded: the children's photos are powerful National-Geographic-caliber portraits of life in their community.  (IDA269, $35.00)
