15th August, 2015, brutal police force is unleashed on the slum residents of Shekhar Nagar, Indore. In hours, more than 3000 people are rendered homeless. The combat between the civic administration and a waste picker community’s right to housing and livelihood continues today in the form of a long drawn legal battle, as the displaced adjusts to the new houses 16 km away on the fringes of the city lacking all basic facilities. In this revealing tale of the unconstitutional practices during resettlement, the film questions the very foundation of projects like Smart City and the plight of the poor and marginalized.
