Event Description : FD Zone Delhi presents "Bidesia In Bambai" Documentary film screening.

Bidesia is Bhojpuri for ‘the one who leaves home’. One in four migrants in Mumbai is Bhojpuri, a people from the north Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Bambai is their name for Mumbai/Bombay. The Bidesia in Bambai, like most migrants in this ‘global city’, inhabit its precarious edges. Mobile phones bridge a tenuous connection between home and the city. Along with his meagre belongings though, the migrant brings with him a vibrant musical culture. This music is frequently sexually charged, at times religious, often lyrical and occasionally political. The Bidesia is both the subject of, and the audience for this music. This feature-length film attempts to make the migrant visible, in a city that renders him illegal and unwanted, in and through the musical sphere that he inhabits. A story of music, migration and mobile phones.
