I saw Born Into Brothels a few months ago, and made a note to buy the dvd or a print or the book one day.

Winner of the 2005 Academy Award for Best Documentary Film, BORN INTO BROTHELS, was produced and directed by Ross Kauffman and Zana Briski. Zana Briski, a New York based photographer, gives each of these youngsters a camera and teaches them how to take pictures, simultaneously causing them to look at their world with new eyes. Their photographs are prisms into their souls, rather than anthropological curiosities, and a true testimony to the power of the indelible creative spirit.

Teaching photography overseas is something I wanted to do in the future, so it was cool to get an insight into it.
