Briski, a documentary photographer, went to Kolkata (Calcutta) to photograph
prostitutes. While there, she befriended their children and offered to teach the
children photography to reciprocate being allowed to photograph their mothers.
The children were given cameras so they could learn photography and possibly
improve their lives. Much of their work was used in the film, and the filmmakers
recorded the classes as well as daily life in the red light district. The children's
work was exhibited, and one boy was even sent to a photography conference in
Amsterdam. Briski also recorded her efforts to place the children in boarding schools.
