Center for Education and Documentation & Initiative Invite you for a film screening and discussion on February 21 (Monday) 3 pm At CED, Mumbai Bombay: Our City by Anand Patwardhan The discussion would be led by Shweta Tambe, Committee for Rights to Housing. BOMBAY: OUR CITY tells the story of the daily battle for survival of millions of Bombay slum dwellers who make up half the city's population. Although they are Bombay's workforce - industrial laborers, construction workers, domestic servants - they are denied city utilities like electricity, sanitation, and water. Many slum dwellers must also face the constant threat of eviction as city authorities carry out campaigns to "beautify" Bombay. BOMBAY: OUR CITY is an indictment of injustice and misery, and a call to action on the side of the slum dwellers.

Sean Cubitt, City Limits, London, UK "Quite clearly, BOMBAY: OUR CITY is the best documentary ever made in India." Khalid Mohamed - The Times of India "Patwardhan gives us this story simply and clearly, with restrained passion, and it becomes, finally, appalling and moving."
