Project Description

Delhi Journey

A Short Film to Accompany the E-Waste Tsunami Documentary

Delhi Journey is a short film to accompany StudioFYNN’s E- Waste Tsunami Project. Intended as a counterbalance to the data visualizations of the documentary, the visual narrative employs the art film genre to communicate the lives and environments of informal laborers in the waste picker community.

The film explores the industrialized landscape of the urban poor in a developing world metropolis. The Urban poor are the community and sector of society to which the waste-picker community belong. The journey begins at Bhalswa Landfill and associated communities in northwestern Delhi and then moves through the rapidly expanding infrastructure of the city. It concludes with a passage through
unregulated housing developments that form a large part of this 21st century metropolis.

The film is a haunting reminder of the environmental and social pressures faced by many 21st century developing world cities and the informal labor sector.
