In wretchedly casteist India, no filmmaker would dare make a film where the hero is a toilet cleaner. But, in Pradip Kurbah's beautiful Khasi film Iewduh (Market), not only does the hero Mike clean public toilets for a living, he is the lovable anchor of many desperate lives—a former drug addict, an abandoned father with dementia, and a woman battered by a violent husband. We find ourselves falling in love with the tender Mike. Amazingly, the Khasis have no caste system, so Mike is not a low caste person cleaning toilets: it's just another job that pays his bills.
