Born Into Brothels DVD - With or without extras?

Does the DVD have extras? I've read conflicting reports:

Moriaty on AICN
This is a great documentary about children raised in the red light district of Calcutta, with much of the footage comprised of images captured by the children themselves. It would be impossible to watch this film and remain unmoved by the horrifying world these kids negotiate every day. There don’t really seem to be any extra features on ThinkFilm’s disc release, but it’s a film you should see anyway.
The Trades
Bonus Material
The bonus offerings start off with the directors commenting during the presentation of the film offering some insights into various aspects of the film. "Reconnecting" gave some brief updates on the kids and how they are doing three years later. At 36 minutes long, the "Special Video" with a side-by-side presentation of selected scenes from the movie and the kids' reactions as they watch it for the first time was the best bonus feature. Watching the kids reactions to themselves and their own lives was especially poignant.

The remaining offerings are fairly interesting but are "standard" bonus content. One shows the acceptance speech from the Academy Awards. Another features an interview by Charlie Rose. Some deleted scenes, production stills, trailers, and more information on the not-for-profit organization Kids with Cameras, linked below, round out the offerings. All around, the bonus content complements this extraordinary film very well.

It has been sent to the review panel for evaluation (I believe Jeff Paramchuk is going to take a look at it) so his review should answer your questions.

Ciao,
