Bound together by tradition and impending gentrification, this captivating film allows us to experience a culture’s magic and wonder before it’s gone.

Ratings and reviews

Stunning look at a new Delhi artist colony in the midst of gentrification. A stark and beautiful look at urbanization, the power of art and community amidst an ever growing, global crisis.

An incredibly well-made documentary with real substance. Art defying politics has never been more evident and whether New York or New Delhi the topic immediately hits home!
