Jugaad (
2009 - 2017 )
Documentary by SHE Films / Susannah Heath-Eves Producer Director Meet a transgender activist, a knife-fighting mafioso and India’s top gossip blogger. Go fishing in the Arabian Sea, rub noses with Bollywood elite and dance your way to the sea. Jugaad is an immersive kaleidoscope of stories about people from different communities in Mumbai, one of the most disparate, diverse and densely populated cities on Earth. The outsider-filmmaker captures the emotional essence of an urban centre while reflecting how we all survive our paradoxical world. The word “jugaad” means creative problem solving. Not only is jugaad the connective tissue of the city – it is at the crux of our survival and what it means to be human.
