A great little report. I must admit, I’ve not seen the film mentioned, but we see too much of this kind of poverty. I’m really pleased to see and hear people of Dharavi not wanting to settle for what they have and aspiring for much, much better lives for themselves and their kids. Well done Sadhvi.

An absorbing reportage which could be analyzed in several aspects. All the people felt the squeeze living on very little; their first ambition is to donate to their family a better life.
A new “second honeymoon” for the Ashok’s wife, who also has great hope for his children, a Hospital, a cinema and a big mall for Ganesh who, as like many boys of his age, needs more space for his independence. A distinct analysis could be done on Manju’s interview, “There could be more... if we built towers in Dharavi it could be like London”.. she warmly said.
I think in this frame we could see how the western vision of the world has been absorbed and has changed the ambition and the hopes for a finest life.. Is that all right? - 7 months ago

This report is great way to get people to understand that slum life is full of people who are working harder than ever to grow with their rapidly developing country. India has a long way to go, but the fact that people are educating their children and looking to a brighter future where they do have all the comforts of the western world creates the impetus for change.
