Is it really that important?

The other day, I watched a documentary called Born Into Brothels about a young female photographer who taught a group of Calcutta Red Light District children aged from 8 to 10 how to take pictures and who gave them a camera to take whatever pics they wanted. Children of prostitutes who don't have anything, who work from early morning to late at night. Children, some of them, with still some hope but with no expectations of changing their way of living and, as a result, their future.
I think that it's more than worth watching. We should all be witnesses (at least through TV images) of what life can be like for other people. I think that it helps us understand better where we are, who we are and what we really should see as important in our own life.
My niece turned two yesterday and I hope she will be able to be happy and free.
Happy birthday!
