Scope and content
Most rivers in India have turned into sewage canals. The stretches passing through cities are the worst off. What the urban middle class is most bothered about is the lost beauty of these rivers. So urban authorities evict poor people living in 'illegal' shanties by the rivers or they build expensive sewage treatment plants to clean the rivers. But nothing works. The problem is that the people who make the grand plans don¹t know how much sewage is generated, that the whole city is not connected to the sewerage network and that there isn¹t enough electricity to run the treatment plants.All the system is keyed to do is respond to rich people¹s demand for water and sanitation with heavy subsidies. This comes at a cost. Poor people get very little water, mostly unsafe, and pay more for it in the bargain. They do not get sanitation cover and pay a heavy price in terms of health. This film is about the absurd relationship between rich people's shit and poor people's water.
