After you win an Oscar, you’re supposed to treat the little people like\nshit, not open schools for them. The diabolical do-gooders behind the award-winning\ndocumentary, “Born Into Brothels,” appear ready to violate that most\nholy of Hollywood traditions:<\/p>\n\n
\nThe two directors of the Oscar-winning documentary “Born Into Brothels,” which\nchronicles the lives of a group of children born to prostitutes in Kolkata’s\nred-light area, plan to set up a school in India, a member of the duo said in\nLisbon on Tuesday. Ross Kauffman, who directed the documentary along with fellow\nNew Yorker Zana Briski, told AFP that the two filmmakers hope to have the school\nup and running by the start of 2007. “The idea is to create a safe place\nfor these kids to go, where a small group of kids can get out of that environment.\nIt’s a way to make a small difference,” the 37-year-old said. The\nschool will focus on leadership and arts, and will have a capacity for between\n50 and 100 students, he added. [Sify.com]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
