This web documentary gives an intriguing flash view into the megacity of Mumbai. You follow a young commuter as she navigates Mumbai in a rickshaw, train and taxi and get to decide what to have a closer look at, be it the rickshaw driver, the people living in the slums next to the railroads or the traffic chaos manager.

From Weekly Filet #129, in September 2013.
