Innocence Caged

Child Trafficking in Mumbai

Directed by
Runtime
51 min
Documentary

Synopsis

The city of Mumbai is home to 100 000 of sex workers, making it the largest sex industry centre in Asia. Many sex workers are either sold into the industry by impoverished families or a part of what is called the Chakri system - forced into prostitution to pay off family debts. Unfortunately, many are children. When walking through the red light district of Mumbai, one is confronted by row after row of cages "pinjara" which are essentially barred windows one floor up. From them the faces of young women stare blankly. This documentary follows the route from the picturesque mountain villages of Nepal and into the dark, back streets of India's sex trade business - the tragic stories told by three survivors.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
