Bombay Workers

Dominique Henry, Vincent Detours, Belgium, 2007, Beta-Digital, Format diffusion : 1.33 (SD), 52 minutes

Social workers from NGO Nirman visit nakas, street markets where labor is hired at very low wages. Naka workers are too busy trying to survive, so for them talking about social progress is incongruous yet it has proved essential. With time they understand that they have rights.
