Forget "Super Size Me" and "Fahrenheit 9/11," "Born into Brothels" is by far the best documentary of 2004, followed by "Touching the Void." This film is actually saving children from lives of prostitution. It is immensely moving and utterly heartbreaking. Do not miss this film. See it however you can. It won the Audience Award for World Documentary at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. At least the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominated it for an Oscar, which it absolutely deserves. I cannot express how much or how deeply this film affected me. It is high on my 2004 Top Ten List, easily one of the year's best and most overlooked films.
