Although I love documentaries, I'd prepared myself for a depressing story considering the subject matter. It was much more uplifting than I would've imagined. One person made a huge difference in the lives of these special children. Very inspirational.

This is one of the most moving films I have ever seen. As I just finished it, I am at a loss for words to describe it justly. The bonus features are a MUST. It's an inspiring story that will make you laugh, cry, want to join the Peace Corps.

One of the best documentaries I have ever seen. One thing I was worried about was the R rating and the title; but it shows nothing of sex; the language is in subtitles and is strong, but it happens for 30 seconds. Seeing the life of the kids is great; I love photography so this held extra interest for me. It was great to see the kids have a goal, and success.

This movie has captivated me so much that I wish I could go and did what this wonderful woman Zana Briski did, save these kids from oblivion, from a grim future of prostitution, poverty and the premature loss of childhood. She has definitely earned her entry to heaven. The kids are lovely and full of joy despite their grim surroundings. I loved this movie and hope that Briski's organization, Kids with Cameras, makes it big and is able to save and help lots of unfortunate children. God bless her, the kids & everyone invovled in this.
