message: Please give references for the following comment:
"The portrayal of the children's mothers as simply wanting the girls to go into prostitution, or as not caring for their children conflicts with much research, which shows that sex workers' major concern is that their children should have a better life than their own."
This is not a crusade for the salvation of children, only one simpathetic americans attempt to make the difference with a few, and she hardly succeeds with plenty of dedication, effort and money on her part.
These children are given a one in a billion chance of getting a future and only 3 could take advantage of it, and one because she ran away from home. The documentary cannot be blamed for potraying the reality faced by THESE children, their spitefull parents should have ensured that the opportunities were taken. 
They aren no better than paedophiles, grandmas and aunts included.Cgonzalezdelhoyo 10:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

message: "On the other hand, these spirited, creative, energetic children cannot help but be inspiring and heart-warming to Western audiences. A hopeful story of upliftment out of dire poverty, of triumph over adversity, of one woman's strenuous and eventually successful efforts to offer poor children educational experiences they could never have had without her help - these are stories that allow us to engage with the profound suffering of an unequal world without despairing that nothing can be done."
This paragraph is among the worst I've ever read on Wikipedia.  Written in first person, completely devoid of NPOV.
I'm not even sure what to replace this glurge with.  I'm going to go ahead and delete it.

"The idea of taking children of one culture and attempting to rescue them through the cultural values and norms of another is an idea that Leslie Wang addresses in her article, "Importing Western Childhoods into a Chinese State Run Orphanage".
Wang discusses the potential moral dilemmas children may go through as well as how some of these changes being made by the "rescuers" may not be realistic to the culture they are attempting to aid in. Luckily for many of the children Briski worked with and attempted to help, this process was overcome by the immense opportunity placed before them, the opportunity to get an education and move away from the red light district they had known for so long."
The article mentioned here is a case study on one specific organization operating in China and makes no mention of India, prostitution, children of prostitutes, or this film. The other portion of this section which responds to the article was removed because it fails to cite any source.
