The Village of Bouncers | 101 Heartland

Imagine a village where most men are bouncers!

Life in the village of Fatehpur-Beri consists of just a few things: rigorous exercise, a super heavy diet, home food  and a down-to-earth attitude: everything that goes into making a good bouncer. If you've been to a nightclub in Delhi or Gurgaon, chances are, this is where your bouncer for the evening came from.

Outside the metros and beyond the urban jungle live the sons and daughters of India’s heartland. This series tells their stories. 101 Heartland celebrates both unique communities and individual tales of hope, struggle, and reform. From the village of bouncers just outside Delhi to the fascinating story of Ram Kumar Tyagi, once a wanted man but now a coach for aspiring female wrestlers, 101 Heartland tells stories for the heart, from the heartland.
