Q2P tackles the taboo subject of public toilets, in particular the shortage
of women’s facilities throughout Mumbai. It peers past the image of
Mumbai as a global metropolis to examine the disparities that surface
when one looks at who must queue to pee. The availability and conditions
of public restrooms for women speak directly to the state of the city,
its citizens and their impressive yet disjointed efforts to move toward
greater progress. This brave, unflinching journey into the realm of
the unmentionable unearths pertinent questions about gender, class,
caste and urban development.
