Redlight to Limelight

The power of creativity and imagination comes to light in an unexpected place in Redlight to Limelight. In Kalighat, a red-light district in a poor neighborhood of Kolkata, a group of Indian sex workers and their daughters and sons collaborate as the film collective CAM-ON. Their short videos, in which they also appear as actors, are based on their own hard lives. We follow them as they work on a film about a mother who rebels when her daughter is also forced into prostitution.
