Storyline
This story uncovers the hidden history of Mumbai's mill workers. These workers powered the city's growth for decades, but they were forgotten after the mills shut down in the 1980s. Their lives lie buried beneath the modern shopping malls and bars that stand there today.
“Beneath the glitter, a city's forgotten heart beats.”
