*NAATA*

The Bond
English, 2003, 45 Mins.

Directed by K..P. Jayasankar and Anjali Monteiro


Friends and activists, Bhau Korde and Waqar Khan, work with neighborhood
peace committees in Dharavi, Mumbai to promote conflict resolution
through the collective production and use of visual media. Korde and
Khan are both long-time residents of Dharavi and both first-generation
migrants to the city. As Asia's largest slum, with a population of
800,000, Dharavi has often been represented as a breeding ground for
filth, vice and poverty, full of immigrants whose right to live in the
city is often questioned by vigilante citizens' groups and right-wing
politicians. However, Dharavi's long history of immigration has created
a creative, productive space which plays an important role in the
economy of the city; it is one of the major hubs of the informal sector
that produces commodities ranging from food products to leather goods
catering to a large export market.

When the deadly riots of 1992-93 tore the city and their community
apart, Korde and Khan were moved to act, working to change both the
negative perception of Dharavi and erase religious and ethnic divisions.
Naata follows these remarkable men as they work on their film, Ekta
Sandesh - their work paralleling that of Naata's own filmmakers, another
filmmaking pair who are immigrants to their city of Bombay. Traveling
with a projector and a screen, Korde and Khan show the film at their own
expense in communities savaged by distrust and prejudice. The two pairs
of filmmakers join forces in this documentary to spread their important
message even further.

Naata is the second in a series on the people and the city of Mumbai.

It is a sequel to Saacha (The Loom), 2001

“As a text which draws our attention to the power that finally rests
with citizens to effect a change in the lives of their communities,
Naata showcases the secular energies that make Dharavi, and in turn,
Bombay, a place that takes great pride in celebrating its cosmopolitan
identity” Art India
