Dear Mr. Boyle, I have to say that I had my hair stand on end when I watched your movie SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. I was born in India and lived in conditions only slightly better than the characters you portrayed. I live in Australia now and am blessed to have all my dreams come true! The WEST AUSTRALIAN covered an article recently which claimed that you have barely paid your child actors and that they continue to live in the slums of Mumbai. I understand that in a world of globalisation you feel justified in paying your actors according to local standards. I can respect that. I am deeply disappointed however that you choose to ignore their impoverishment despite having tasted so much success in part because of them. I hope you will be compassionate and give them a chance to better themselves and their lives. The WEST AUSTRALIAN did say that you are paying for their education and food ($42/month). How about a solid roof over their heads? Thank you.
