This video informed slum dwellers that the Mumbai Municipal Authority was planning to privatize their water. After the screenings, 300 people instead of the usual 60 showed up for a government meeting on water and demanded that the officials come clean about the plan and the costs to slum dwellers. Shortly after that meeting, the government halted the privatization plan in that part of Mumbai, and started supplying water twice a day instead of once in that particular area.
