I read today that the children in the film Born into Brothels all didn't get happy endings. One of the girls in particular who went to the Oscars four years ago has been pulled into the sex trade. It is as if the documentary made no difference expect giving her hope only to have it pulled away.
Preeti Mukherjee works the red light district where the documentary was filmed. She began working one year after experiencing the Oscars. Other children in the documentary were delivered from this lifestyle, but Preeti's mother insisted she stay with her. Preeti now supports her mother by prostituting herself.
I get angry with the mother and the industry which would profit from these children, but not do enough to help them.
