What does it mean to be part of a desperate crowd of seven million commuters, to whom the suburban train journey between home and work is a nightmare. Everyday, year after year. In Mumbai, a city of 15 millon people, life goes on as if nothing is wrong, even as  nearly 4000 people are killed in accidents as they fall off trains or are run over on the rail tracks.  

In its treatment, the film uses sound and visual juxtapositions and an active montage to build up this surreal world. The film explores an urban dilemma crucial to many other cities and countries.

"Richly detailed, poetic, and nearly non-verbal, JOURNEYS subtly and pointedly explores universal issues of space and human relations within a very specific environment."
Chicago IDF

"The film, built like a series of throbbing variations on the topic...reveals a singular control of the cinematographic style."
