(
Naata)

Naata is about Bhau Korde and Waqar Khan, two friends who work on conflict resolution and communal harmony initiatives between the different communities in Dharavi, reputedly, the largest "slum" in Asia. In contexualizing their work, Naata also looks critically at the popular perception in India of Dharavi as a "slum", making it thus, a film about Indian society too. Naata is the second in a series of films on the people and city of Mumbai, and is a sequel to Saacha (The Loom), 2001.
