Cast in India reveals the workers behind the New York City manhole covers which are manufactured in India. Champ of the Camp, a massive production, shines a spotlight on working conditions in the harsh work camps of Dubai, where 17,000 South Asian workers distract themselves from daily hard reality by holding a Bollywood singing contest.

This screening is followed by a discussion and book sale with Erik Loomis, an assistant professor at the University of Rhode Island, who will be facilitating a conversation on "Global Issues of Survival, Cooperation and Bollywood Song".
