Issue: Urban issues
CVU: VV Goa
NGO Partner: Video Volunteers
Location: Baga, Goa, India
Description: This film was produced during a two day video blogging workshop in Goa which happened to coincide with the Goan People's Film Festival. The people's film festival proved to be a perfect time to ask the locals their thoughts on IFFI (International Film Festival India), being held in Goa for the 5th year now. Goans seem to be unhappy with IFFI and the interest has fizzled out.

Description: Imagine how scary it is for slumdwellers to have to think about paying for water?

Success story: The Government actually halted the plan in that part of Mumbai and initiated supply of water twice a day instead of once!

  • Let’s clean up Mumbai!
Issue: Water
CVU: Hamari Awaaz
NGO Partner: Yuva
Location: Mumbai, Maharastra, India
Description: Filth and garbage are huge problems in the slum areas of Mumbai. There is hardly any municipal system for collecting waste. This video takes slum dwellers on a visual journey with a piece of garbage, showing them the huge and unsustainable landfills where their garbage end up, and introduces them to a hard-working woman who makes her living as a rag-picker in those landfills.
Success stories: This film has been used by NGOs working on the issue of sanitation and have seen an increase of meeting attendances. Most importantly, the Government placed dumpsters in two of the major slum areas for the first time.
