The Tigress of Mumbai
As the government plan to build on an urban forest in Mumbai, this film follows one indigenous family as they struggle to hold onto their unique way of life.
In the Indian megacity of Mumbai, an urban forest four times the size of New York's Central Park is home to a community of indigenous people who live alongside leopards. The land is prime real estate and over recent decades, areas have been converted. Now the government is going ahead with a controversial plan to cut further into the forest to build a depot for subway trains. The project has sparked widespread protests and a debate about conservation and development. This film follows one indigenous family as they struggle to hold on to their unique way of life.
