Life 7.7 Million Years Ago Recreated Daily in India’s Largest Slum: Women Survive Filth & Poverty

Life inside Dharavi, Asia’s largest slum, reveals a hidden world where women survive filth and poverty every single day — and still drive a billion-dollar recycling economy. In this video, we explore how 7.7 million years of human survival instincts are recreated daily through the resilience, ingenuity, and raw grit of Dharavi’s women.

From carrying water before dawn, navigating overflowing toilets, building air-cooling systems from trash, to using safety apps to combat domestic violence — these stories are not about helplessness, but about unseen heroism and community survival.

Discover the informal economy that recycles over 80% of Mumbai's plastic waste, meet the women who turn tradition into entrepreneurship, and witness the looming threats of redevelopment and climate change that may erase this vibrant human ecosystem.
