ABOUT THE FILM

The Delivery Guy follows the stories of two South Asian immigrants who came to Berlin as students and now work in the food delivery sector. The film sheds light on their hopes, disappointments, and daily struggle for dignity within a system that barely acknowledges their presence.

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR

Debarun Dutta is a policy communicator with over 15 years of work experience with non-profits in India. He has a master’s degree in Human rights, a PGDM in Development communication and a Masters in Public policy from the Hertie School, Berlin. He has worked with GIZ in 2023-24 and Fairwork, Berlin as a research assistant. He has also made over 50+ films on a range of human rights issues.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

Three years ago, when I arrived in Berlin, a spark of inspiration led me to investigate why so many food delivery workers in the city are of South Asian origin. This curiosity became the driving force behind my journey—explored through my Master’s thesis, my work at Fairwork, and ultimately, through my latest documentary.

‘The Delivery Guy’ marks an important milestone in this exploration. The project has deepened my understanding of migration and labour, as well as ethnographic research and the craft of filmmaking. I’m deeply energized and hopeful that this film will spark vital discussions on these issues.
