NOT JUST ROADS is an ethnographic documentary film that narrates the story of a massive urban transformation underway in India. Highways are being constructed at an unprecedented rate of 23 kilometers per day under the Indian government's Bharatmala (‘Garland of Limitless Roads’) programme, aimed at opening new territories for an emerging middle class. these landscapes are currently inhabited by villages, working-class neighbourhoods, and nomadic herders, and are criss-crossed by native trails and vital ecological commons. The film follows one such highway outside Delhi, from the perspective of both human and non-human actors.
