“A Work in Progress” delves into the environmental challenges posed by construction and demolition waste in the burgeoning city of Bhopal, India. As the city expands rapidly, the accumulation of waste from these sites becomes a significant ecological concern. Government-installed recycling plants can only handle a mere 1% of the waste generated, leaving the bulk unmanaged.


This film offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of residents in an informal settlement in Bhopal, showcasing their resourceful practices in dealing with this waste. Through a series of compelling vignettes, “A Work in Progress” captures how these individuals ingeniously repurpose construction debris to construct and enhance their homes. Every brick and tile becomes a testament to their resilience and creativity. The film not only highlights the environmental issue but also celebrates the ingenuity and perseverance of those who transform waste into essential building materials, offering a poignant commentary on sustainability and community adaptation.
