Bollywood Exploitation

by Sarah Richardson

Slumdog Millionaire star, Rubina Ali is no millionaire in real life. She's actually spent all nine years of her young life in the very slum where much of the movie is filmed. A British undercover team is praised for exposing her father's plan to sell her for nearly 200,000 pounds. He says that the production crew took all the profits for themselves and the family was not properly compensated. I'd agree that that is probably true; however, SELLING your own child?

The thing I love about online articles is they usually have an area below where other readers can respond to the article. The responses to this article are particularly disturbing at times, but it's interesting to see what people have to say about it.
