00:00Now you'll see the eyes, you know, concentrating on you.
00:03Just keep the camera down, brother.
00:04Be careful, they're gonna try and steal something from you too.
00:07Don't film anything, brother. Let's go.
00:09Let's go, let's go. It's not safe.
00:15Today we'd be meeting up with a local who'd be showing us around Mumbai's most dangerous slum.
00:20Okay, right now we're in a tuk-tuk heading to Andiridonga.
00:25I think it's kind of like a gangsterish slum where a lot of nefarious activities go on.
00:31And up there, that is going to be our tour guide.
00:34All right, so this is Shariq.
00:36Yo, what's up?
00:37He's gonna be showing us around this area called Andiridonga.
00:41Name is Andirid, and dongar means a hill.
00:44So it's the hill of Andirid.
00:46Okay.
00:47And mostly Muslim people live over here, and those people who were, you know,
00:52wanted for something, and in the 90s, they used to come over here and hide.
00:57People are hustling over here, making the easy money, the quick money.
01:00We look very similar.
01:01All the rat poison and shit over here is happening.
01:04So like is rat poison, is that like a drug people do?
01:09Local weed, it has rat poison inside it.
01:12Oh.
01:13I smoked some local green in Dharavi yesterday.
01:18Oh.
01:19You want weed?
01:20Oh, yeah, sure.
01:21I can do some weed.
01:22Thank you so much.
01:23These guys just hugged us out with a little smug.
01:26You which wouldn't have?
01:27Okay.
01:28Jeez.
01:29The locals partook with us.
01:31It's okay for their lungs, you know, but in your case, it's different.
01:35I mean, I was coughing a lot this morning, but I feel okay.
01:39Okay.
01:42Hey, what's up, man?
01:43How's it going?
01:44Whoa, that goat's cooking.
01:48This is a mosque, you know, the biggest mosque over here.
01:51Are you Hindu?
01:53No, no, I'm a Muslim.
01:54Being a Muslim means submitting your will to your Lord.
01:58Yeah.
01:59Yeah, to the higher power or else you can say.
02:02Yeah.
02:03So if you believe in someone, you know, who's up over there,
02:07so even you are a Muslim.
02:09Okay.
02:10You are fine.
02:1190.
02:12I saw that guy offering me some whiskey.
02:15Is that very hard to find in a Muslim song?
02:17No, no.
02:18He was just letting you know what's up.
02:20He's gonna get high on that fucking alcohol right in the evening time.
02:26Yeah.
02:27This is all mixed up.
02:28Not only Muslims, but also Hindus and Christians.
02:31Okay.
02:32Hi.

09:51We can't be filming them.
09:53Don't film them.
09:54Don't film anything brother.
09:55Let's go.
09:56Let's go.
09:57It's not safe.
09:58What happened was that was a dealing ring sort of thing.
10:02You couldn't film over there.
10:04They were dealing at that moment.
10:06When we arrived, the thing which we saw on the left.
10:08Yeah.
10:09The older guys.
10:10It had whole drugs stacked over there.
10:12Yeah.
10:13Did you see that?
10:14They were all the sleeping pills and everything.
10:16Oh, I was trying not to make eye contact.
10:18Oh, you did a good job over there.
10:20Yeah.
10:21Because, you know, even I don't want to mess with those people.
10:24Yeah.
10:25They fucking stab and run.
10:26And where are we going to find them in the alleys?
10:29You think we would be able to find them?
10:33Yeah.
10:34So, what are the types of drugs that they normally sell?
10:37Oh, sleeping pills, cough syrups, methamphetamine, weed, hashish.
10:42Whatever sales, brother, whatever sales.
10:44Yup.
10:45Does anybody do glue here?
10:47Yup, yup, yup.
10:48Kids do it.
10:49Kids do it over here.
10:50Yup.
10:51The ones who are begging on the signal.
10:53What about Captagon?
10:54Is there Captagon here?
10:55What is Captagon?
10:57It's kind of like an amphetamine, but that's mainly the Middle East.
11:00No, no, no, no.
11:01But people are not introduced till now to the, you know, higher sort of drugs.
11:05Yeah.
11:06Right?
11:07Ketamine and that sort of shit.
11:09Yeah, this was like crystal meth, I guess.
11:12Okay.
11:13Ah, crystal meth is very famous over there.
11:15Yeah, because you don't have to eat when you do it.
11:18So, it helps if you're hungry.
11:19Excuse me?
11:20Yeah.
11:21I saw the goats.
11:22Keep the camera down.
11:23Keep the camera down.
11:24So, you saw that auntie was sitting inside, right?
11:27She was selling drugs.
11:28Oh, so even the aunties.
11:30Oh, yes, yes, yes, brother.
11:31It's a whole hustle, you know?
11:33Who's going to come inside looking inside their house, you know?
11:35And they probably don't have a lot of other opportunities to make money.
11:38You could feel the vibe, you know, it changed.
11:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:41So, this is where we started.
11:43And, yeah, so now we're back on like a main street.
11:46All of this was only one alley, you know?
11:49And they have around hundreds of alleys like this.
11:52So, you can imagine the maze which is over here, you know, in the hill.
11:57Yup.
11:58And would a different group kind of control that alley than an alley up here?
12:02Yup.
12:03Yup.
12:04See, imagine if you are a cop or something, right?
12:07And if you want to find someone who is selling drugs over here.
12:11Where will you go and find them?
12:13Yeah.
12:14Every alley goes somewhere different, connects somewhere different.
12:17He thought you wouldn't see him.
12:20I got you.
12:21You can't eat that, buddy.
12:23That's a bike.
12:24Ba-ba bike sheep.
12:26This is like a little skin care or something.
12:28A dermatologist.
12:29Yup.
12:30People are also concentrating on their looks over here in the slums.
12:35Do you smoke cigarettes?
12:36Yup, I do.
12:37You want to smoke a cigarette?
12:38Yeah, I'll do it.
12:39Hoon?
12:43Don't do hoons, kids.
12:45Maybe give them some change.
12:47Hey, all chocolate food.
12:49Chocolate food.
12:50Don't fight, don't fight.
12:51Chocolate food.
12:52One more.
12:53Here.
12:54Chocolate food, you guys.
12:55Directly to the chocolate shop.
12:58Bought some candy.
12:59Straight to the chocolate shop.
13:01Do these kids go to school?
13:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, they do.
13:03Going to school is not a big thing over here.
13:06The thing is, I have done my graduation, right?
13:09I have graduated with BMS, right?
13:13Bachelors of Management Studies.
13:15But after that, the job which I got was of around 12,000 rupees.
13:22I studied for 15 fucking years.
13:25And the job which I got after it is 12,000 rupees, right?
13:31So after 15 years of hard work and slavery inside the school, all I'm getting is 12,000 rupees.
13:38Yeah.
13:39So I think it's a fucked up system, you know?
13:41It is not going to motivate me to study more or...
13:4412,000 rupees a week, a month, a year, a month, a month.
13:48Oh, wow.
13:49This chicken's on a leash.
13:51I think that's what sports book he's got on his shirt there.
13:54It's the same color scheme as DraftKings.
13:56Yeah.
13:57You know, people are getting their buffalo fresh.
13:59That is buffalo, buffalo meat.
14:01Oh, I thought that, oh, so...
14:03No, buffalo is not banned, but...
14:06Beef is banned.
14:07Yeah.
14:08Oh, alright.
14:09You know wheat, whole wheat?
14:10Yeah.
14:11So what they do is they crush the wheat and make wheat flour out of it.
14:18Okay.
14:19So this is the whole mill, right?
14:21People get it fresh over here.
14:23They give this guy the whole wheat and then he crushes it down.
14:27So that is how you know that you are not getting any mixed up product.
14:31Alright, nice.
14:33So you can see his struggle, you know, he's breathing inside and...
14:37You know, it's not easy.
14:39Yeah.
14:40He earns around two, three rupees per kg.
14:43Two to three rupees per kilogram.
14:45Oh my god, wow.
14:46See, people are flying kites from over there.
14:48Oh, wow.
14:49Everyone is obsessed with kite fighting.
14:51Friday's kite day.
14:53Are we gonna go up there?

17:27that helps so this is the whole and dirty dongle you know yeah so you can see how far oh yeah and
17:33you can tell how it's on a hill after a moment of peace at the Hindu temple up top we headed back

19:08let's go all right now we're leaving this slum and we're heading to the beach yeah we're going three
19:16deep on the motorbike but first we had to make a pit stop as earlier Shriek had told us that his main
19:20hustle was exotic goat dealing I also deal in exotic goats over here and I had to get eyes on these goats
19:27I'll take you to my small small setup of boats oh yeah his forefathers have been imported from
19:33me the land the Netherlands you have a Dutch goat yeah Arsalan don't don't get near him he's gonna hit you very hard
19:42yeah he's very very aggressive so this guy costs a million Indian because there is no other goat at his
19:50age which is as big as in a thoroughbred throw a thoroughbred goat and so if someone was to buy
19:58that goat what would they use it for oh they would breed it yeah yeah they're all maybe just take care
20:05of it until it is very fat and everything then they sacrifice it for either other okay have you ever
20:11seen a goat this big in the US no that's not a goat that's a small horse once we left the goat shack
20:20we headed to Juhu Beach where we checked out one of the fancier hotels in Mumbai all right we're now
20:26in the JW Marriott it's uh quite a change of pace from where we were 45 minutes ago dude it's nice on
20:35these crowds look at this pool wow these they have they have armchairs look at the spread if you're
20:42still hungry oh yeah room 302 dude Sam decides to use his white privilege to try and finagle a free
20:50meal at the buffet yeah I want to meet you up front but can I have a little bit of none I can try some
21:02all right let's hope Sam makes it out of the buffet I'm getting out of here yeah what happened when
