In collaboration with Marta Vanduzer-Snow, an American scholar from Boston and co-founder of Safalgram, we embarked on a journey to authentically portray her unwavering dedication to improving rural infrastructure and sanitation in India. Marta introduced the innovative evapotranspiration toilet to India, transforming rural sanitation in Uttar Pradesh. We documented her journey through personal interviews and on-site filming, capturing her resilience and the challenges she faced in building over 80 toilets using affordable materials and community participation.
