Join Five Talents For a Film Screening of "Born into Brothels" on Oct. 17

Come see the Academy Award-wining documentary film, Born into Brothels, and participate in a discussion to learn how you can help transform the lives of women and children.

When: 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 17
Where: Chapel of Church of the Holy Comforter, 543 Beulah Rd., Vienna, VA
Who: Co-presented by the Peace & Justice Ministry at Church of the Holy Comforter and Five Talents International.

Born into Brothels is a tribute to the resiliency of childhood and the restorative power of art. The film is a portrait of several unforgettable children who live in the red light district of Calcutta, India. Zana Briski, a New York-based photographer, gives each of the children a camera and teaches them to look at the world with new eyes, igniting latent sparks of artistic genius that reside in these children who live in the most sordid and seemingly hopeless world.

Caution: Movie contains a few instances of profane language.
