An atmospheric and inspiring story of resilience: Slumdog Millionaire meets Shantaram

---

A dazzling tribute to the resilience and determination of a remarkable community of women

Nestled between the luxury high-rise blocks of Bangalore is an ironically named slum called Heaven. It´s here that five girls - Muslim, Christian and Hindu; gay and straight - forge a binding friendship.

But when Heaven is threatened by government bulldozers, the girls must come together to save the home they´ve built from nothing.

Sparkling with passion and humour, A People´s History of Heaven is the story of these unforgettable young women and their determination, not only to survive, but to triumph in a city that would prefer to forget them.
