We’ll be screening Born Into Brothels tonight at 7pm in the Skylight Room! It’s a documentary film about the children of prostitutes in Sonagachi, Kolkata’s red light district. The children were given cameras to film their own realities, much of which was used in the film. Snacks and an optional discussion afterwards!

Check out the trailer:

Joseph Kony and his killers have abducted more than 30,000 children from their families, forcing young boys to murder their parents and become child soldiers and the girls to work as sex slaves.

Make KONY Famous is aiming to raise global awareness of Kony - to make him famous - “not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice”.

As the filmmaker Jason Russell explains, less than one per cent of the world knows who Kony is, however, if people knew what he had done, they would demand action.
