The Dabbawallas, 1999-2003

This full length documentary explores a 100 year old work system in which 4,000 Dabbawallas deliver 100,000 lunches from customer’s homes to their places of work. What interested Goodman most was that the work system functioned successfully without the use of technology or modern business practices.

Interviews, footage of Dabbawallas at work and in meetings, and various edited versions are what make up a majority of this series. Final versions are also included.
