Water and a City: The Film

How much water does a person need? Who ensures that this need is met? Do we have a “right to water”?

Watch the film ‘Water and a City’ by Swati Dandekar, here.

Located in Bengaluru, India’s IT capital, the film traces the journey of water into and out of urban homes. Along this journey, it looks at how cities and city dwellers across the social and economic strata interact with water. It looks at access to water for the poor, the politics of water pricing, and urban India’s continuous exploitation of natural resources.

The film also explores possible alternatives for a water future that is ecologically sustainable and socially just.
