Synopsis:
What happens when people from different classes and faiths sit across from each other in a taxi and take a journey together? Can this setting provide fertile ground for a rich dialogue about modern terrorism? "The Taxi Takes on Terror" is based on interactions between taxi drivers and their passengers inside Mumbai cabs after the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attacks of 2008. "The Taxi Takes on Terror" consists of several short films. "Women and Islam" is about a female taxi driver and the voices of her female passengers. At a time when the "burkha" is being banned, "Women and Islam" explores identity, faith and fashion from exchanges in a taxi, in a nation that houses the third-largest Muslim population in the World.
