Very disturbing



If you haven't seen it yet, please take the time to see "Slumdog Millionaire"
It is a wonderful story, brilliantly told and haunting with it's images of the slums of Bombay.
Filmed on location in Mumbai you fall in love with the children who bring this story to life. Imagine my dismay, disgust and horror when I read an article today which reveals how little the child actors who brought this to life were paid! click here to read the article
Meanwhile this film is expected to continue winning awards bringing more revenue to the producers. I am hoping this story goes viral and they are shamed into providing much more compensation for these children and their families . . .shame on them!
