Smile Pinki
By Steven D. Levitt (Freakonomic Blog)
I recently saw a remarkable short documentary entitled Smile Pinki. It tells the story of two poverty-stricken young children (one a girl named Pinki) in India who are born with clefts and have the opportunity to receive free surgery to fix their condition. It is incredibly moving. I’m not the only one who feels that way — the movie is getting a lot of attention.
I watched it with my children. They’ve never seen anyone with a cleft, because in the United States, every baby born with the condition gets surgery within a few months. Only one of my four children (Nicholas) expressed the revulsion that many adults feel when seeing children with clefts. The other three were transfixed by what they saw and watched from beginning to end. If they hadn’t been paying so much attention to the screen, they would have had the chance to see something they have never seen before: tears coming from their dad’s eyes..


Couldn't find any better copy. The original ripper has used some weird codec on this one. Plays fine on VLC but doesn't work with ConvertXtoDVD. The quality is ok but could have been much better for a file this size. The documentary runtime is 'bout 40min but the file runtime is 46min. The last 6min on the video have been left blank!! But the movie is surely worth it. English subs hardcored.


Enjoy n Seed.
