Overview

Three South Asian delivery drivers brave Toronto’s winter dinner rush, zipping through slushy, frigid streets. Through intimate portraits of the drivers, Butter Chicken to Go exposes a deep contradiction: a country that eagerly consumes South Asian cuisine while increasingly excluding the people whose labour sustains it. What does it mean to belong when your presence is both essential and contested?

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sharp, intimate documentary that follows delivery drivers through a Toronto winter, using their day-to-day struggles to expose the contradiction between a country's hunger for South Asian culture and its rejection of South Asian people. It's both quietly observant and quietly angry.
