Hotel Mumbai: el atentado

Filmmaker Anthony Maras remains awestruck by the many examples of bravery to emerge from the attacks. He said: "Taj kitchen workers stuffed baking trays under their shirts, makeshift bulletproof vests, as they shielded patrons from machine-gun fire. Guests lowered fellow travelers out of windows using ropes made of knotted bed sheets. Some Taj staff members led others through hidden corridors to safety outside, only to re-enter the hotel, and look for more people to save." Inspired by the courage and selflessness displayed amid such a tsunami of violence, Maras was determined to tell their stories on film.

David orders a burger at Shaman and is told that beef is banned in India. However the "beef ban" in Mumbai only came into effect in 2015. Before that beef was freely available in the city.
