BORN INTO BROTHELS

A must watch for all the humans, but at the same time don't judge the entire country on the basis of this. I really appreciate the efforts documentary makers have put, and I'm really glad so many of you are sharing your precious views on it. But inflammatory and abusive languages will not be tolerated. We are improving and not all of us are the same.
