I’m Aware
The film addresses various challenges that could be faced particularly by pedestrians, people with disabilities, and women* regarding public transport, the exclusive infrastructure of roads and public spaces, and the design of underground passages. Around a round table, young people discuss their stories regarding the confusing and challenging urban experiences where lack and sometimes the abundance of unreasonable passages makes life easier for cars, yet so tough for the citizens. Further, the dysfunctioning "Top-up" points for accessing public transport are also reflected in the film. Most of the public transport in Baku could be accessed through the "Baku card" payment, whereas most bus stops are underequipped with the machines to top the cards or they are not properly functioning. The situation puts many people in a helpless situation when they try to hop on quickly to the coming bus, but also there is a sweet culture of asking others on the bus to pay for them in return for small cash. Last, the unsafe reality of Baku's streets for women and the lack of inclusion regarding people with disabilities are shortly reflected in the film.
