DVD Talk Interview - Born Into Brothels: Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman
This week we're extremely excited to bring you an interview with filmmakers Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman, the creative team behind this year's Academy Award Winner for Best Documentary Born into Brothels. Zana Briski first set out for Calcutta to photographs the lives of prostitutes in the red-light district. She purchased simple point-and-shoot cameras and began teaching the kids about the art of photography. Within a short time, Briski put down her own lens in favor of a video camera, and called upon filmmaker Ross Kauffman to join her in Calcutta. Together, the two created Born into Brothels, exploring Briski's journey to empower these children through photography, and ultimately, to get them out of the brothels. DVD Talk correspondent Sarika Chawla sat down with the filmmakers to learn a bit more about their experiences in India, and the head-trip of their great success so far. Read the complete interview.
