This month, we’re screening The Unreserved, directed by Samarth Mahajan, which follows the lives and stories of working class passengers travelling in the unreserved compartment of the Indian railways, the cheapest way to travel across India. Spanning 17 days, Mahajan travelled around India in a total of 10 train compartments, chronicling the passengers' aspirations, efforts and opinions.
The documentary is available to stream from 6 January (Monday) to 13 January (Monday).
