The film is a documentary that looks into the experience of workers of Lahore during Covid. The host is Comrade Baba Jan, who at the time of filming, had just come out of jail after nine years (jailed on false charges for his political work) and we invited him to Lahore to meet with a cross section of activists, workers and educationalists so we could learn from them. We engaged with comrades who could tell us about the sectors of the working class and we hope to have represented the experience of caste, ethnicity, working class male labour, women’s labour and trans-gender workers of my city. Hearing and learning from each other will allow our unity, and that is the aim of this effort.
