Interesting documentary, and impressively structured given the vastness of the topic. HBO should produce an 8-part series.

My favorite quote comes from Sheela Patel, speaking about the slums in Mumbai. Apparently the toilets:people ratio is 1:600, and public officials (out of ignorance or some undefined motive) argue that building more toilets would encourage in-migration–to which Patel snarks,

“As if people come to shit.”
