Mumbai's Aarey Forest: Woman fights to protect her from subway project

In the Indian megacity of Mumbai, there is an urban forest four times the size of Central Park in New York.

It is home to a community of native people who live with leopards.

The land is prime real estate and parts have been converted over the last few decades.

Now the government is pushing ahead with a controversial plan to dig deeper into the forest to build a depot for the subways.

The project has sparked widespread protests and debates about conservation and development. We follow an indigenous family struggling to maintain their unique lifestyle.
