The Liberal Avenger's Comments

If you like the idea of this book, there is another one you might be interested in.

I think it is by the same people. It is called Material World. Instead of photographing the families with food, the families haul everything they own out of their house and arrange it on the front yard and pose with it - home, possessions, family. They run the gambit from conspicuous consumers in front of their McMansion to impoverished rural folk with little more than a straw mat and a bowl. Powerful stuff!

I've seen Born into Brothels. Believe it or not, Blockbuster stocks it - they even "featured" it for awhile.

It is a brilliant documentary. Don't be afraid of being offended by the prostitution in the movie; it is almost non-existent in the film.

The film is all about these kids - some of them intellectual giants, others just normal - and how they perceive the world around them.

Fantastic.
