At the end of the film screening, Sahithi Pingali and Laura Nix shared their experience of filming the documentary. Sahithi has led the efforts to clean up Bengaluru’s polluted lakes. The lake behind Sahithi’s home has twice burst into flames due to toxic waste. Once known as “The City of 1,000 Lakes,” it now has only 93 remaining, most of them overgrown with weeds and contaminated by industrial spillage or the dumping of raw sewage.
