WaterWala

Released: 2017Runtime: Language: BN

Documentary

Estimates say that once there were hundreds of Bhistis or water carriers roaming on the streets of Kolkata with their goat skin bag Mashaqs supplying cool water to shops and households. They watered the streets and worked for Kolkata Corporation in the distant past. Today there are only 2-3 Bhistis in Kolkata. The first full-length documentary on the Bhistis and why they are vanishing from the streets of Kolkata. An international story of a dying profession in a post-globalized India told locally.
