Seven Islands and a Metro

[oncejadedtwicesnarked]

When Madhushree Dutta came over to the center last month, she brought her film along. After the screening, I was too emotional to respond to her, but yesterday I got to meet her again and thank her properly. Being so used to seeing Mumbai only as slum-galore, or as the "perfect city that is the answer to everything", Madhushree's work is refreshing; and at the same time, so intimately familiar. It's the Bombay I grew up in -- cracks, problems and violence all there. The documentary is almost an hour long, but, dear reader, most definitely worth it.
