[Reader-list] film on sonagachi - an exhibition held last year

[sudhesh]

rochelle

i agree with you

in my earlier mails i had mentioned the fact that 
there are other ways of concealing using technology
and it is naive to assume that showing it in europe
or selling DVDs outside India
is not going to affect the lives of the children

i think why i raise the issue of Indiana was because in this case
Indians are invloved

of course your point of percieved threat from viewers is true

But let me remind you that the filmmkaers did hold an exhibition of
the photographs in delhi at Dilli Haat last year which was resounding
success. I had done some research on dilli haat for a film and on an
average 10000 people visit it on a holiday or weekends. Even assuming
1000 people visited the exhibition everday that would make it 10000
for 10 days. All of them could see the children and the pictures they
have taken.

Given that a documentary film would have a far lesser audience in one
city why not show the film?
