About this Video
Sawari is a visceral portrait of cycle-rickshaw workers navigating systemic neglect, everyday violence, and stolen livelihoods in Delhi, exposing the fragile infrastructures that sustain a city dependent on their labour yet refusing them dignity, rights, or protection.
Through radical listening, the documentary generates an archive of suffering, resilience, and systemic silence. It asks viewers to confront the ethical contradiction of a city that rides on the labour of those it chooses not to see. The film becomes an act of witnessing—and the urgent need to see those the State refuses to recognise.
