Writing With Fire
The story of Khabar Lahariya, the only news agency in India run by Dalit (oppressed-caste) women. Armed with smartphones, Chief Reporter Meera and women journalists break traditions, be it on the frontlines of India’s biggest issues or within the confines of their homes, redefining what it means to be powerful. Set in the backdrop of an increasingly polarized world, the film journeys with Meera and her band of sisters for five years, presenting the millennia old caste system in India, tradition, sexual violence against women and corruption.
