Born Into Brothels
Well, it is rather difficult to judge the fact that most intimate details of children lives were revealed, because I believe that ultimately, this documentary gave these children something a lot more valuable than the price they paid. For Zana Briski not only put them on display for the whole world to see, she also gave most of these children a chance to grow and develop like "normal" children, with the bright future in front of them. So yes, I think in this case the "ends" justify the "means", and their privacy was not violated for nothing. Besides, children did not seem to mind being put on display at all, in fact, from what I could tell, most of them enjoyed it! I believe that this film was ultimately successful not only because it showed the world what kind of horrors these children have to endure on day-to-day basis, but also did change the lives of at least two of the children. And every life "saved" is well worth the risks involved.

I agree that the price of being exposed in this movie is well worth what these children gained as being part of this.
