Down The Drain

DOCUMENTARY-FICTION SHORT

Ever wondered where Bangalore’s wastewater actually goes? The city’s hidden underground world is more dramatic, chaotic, and surprising than you think.

Down The Drain is a documentary-fiction film about Bangalore’s sewage, told from the perspective of a woman who accidentally flushes a watch down the toilet.

In tracing the journey that the watch takes from the toilet, the woman gets glimpses into the pipes and people that make up the sewage system in the city, and observes the system as well as its parts through conversations with different people.

Directed by Nitya Misra, this film is supported by Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies, and commissioned by Science Gallery Bengaluru.
