Diamonds in a Vegetable Market

Nilita Vachani
1992 India 68 minutes Hindi; Urdu

A magician, a medicine-man, a singer of devotional songs… the aisle of the bus unites them where they peddle their wares and eke out a living among thousands of sellers in India. The film is a behind-the-scenes look at the bus performance, revealing the sharp schism that sometimes exists between a person’s public front and private self.
