This vérité documentary follows five New York City cab drivers fighting for survival and economic justice in the wake of the predatory taxi medallion debt crisis. With close access to the New York Taxi Workers Alliance and its director, Bhairavi Desai, the film chronicles how a city-sanctioned lending scheme drove working-class immigrants into crushing debt, ultimately contributing to nine driver suicides. Now that newly elected mayor Zohran Mamdani is bringing renewed attention and political will to the crisis, the film captures a rare moment of possibility for a community long ignored in an urgent portrait of labor organizing and collective power.

Taxi Driver is a 2026 (Egg)celerator Lab film.
