Cab Money
Ali Bagirov
Azerbaijan
The film is about the poverty that young people go through and the situation leads many to use cabs to earn some pocket money. Unfortunately, there is a very competitive taxi business in the city and it makes the service and the prices decrease as well. The second biggest city Sumgayit is almost 30 KM away from Baku and there are cabs around the center you could take to Sumgayit only for 1 manat (around 0.55 EUR). The situation is the same with “1 manat” cabs to some other districts as well. There are many famous cab companies such as Uber and Bolt well functioning in Baku and their service prices are very low as well. The situation is advantageous to encourage people to take cabs instead of using their own car, however it leads to the exploitation of the cab drivers.

Between Man and Nature
The movie is about nature preservation and how human and animal habitats could co-exist together. In this area where the movie is filmed, people have free access to give a visit and be in touch with animals. The interviewer explains the importance of the preservation of animal species and nature. Baku is a very busy and noisy city. Sometimes people want to escape the chaos of the city, but unfortunately, there are not very well-designed parks or other places where people can be easily in contact with nature. The filmed site is one of the examples where people could visit and be in touch with nature. Although Baku does not have the best nature scene, other regions of Azerbaijan are covered with beautiful nature and green areas. However, another problem is about access to these places. Sometimes they charge unreasonable prices for entrance tickets, or you need to take a seat at a facility (cafe, restaurant, etc) around the place (which charges a lot) in order to have access to nature. Escaping the noise of a big city and finding peace in public natural places is every citizen’s right. Restrictions on access and lousy design (as well as location) of parks in Baku are other urban problems of many.
