About this item

Product Description Uttar Pradesh, India, 2002: A small group of women-all belonging to the lowest social caste-chose to start a news service. Their publication Khabar Lahariya ("waves of news") thrives today, complete with a digital presence. The challenges they face as they engage in grassroots journalism in the face of apprehension and scorn from the politically and commercially empowered, to say nothing of their own male relatives, are tellingly explored in this remarkable documentary. 92 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Hindi; Subtitles: English. In Hindi with English subtitles. Review The film’s faith in the powers of grassroots journalism is nothing short of galvanizing. --Devika Girish, The New York Times The most inspiring journalism movie ― maybe ever. An essential portrait of the fight for press freedom… Writing With Fire reminds us that there are always people who, despite incredible odds, will choose to do this work. --Jason Rezaian, The Washington Post As this engaging and hopeful documentary by Rintu Thomas and Sushmit Ghosh shows, words have the power to change things when wielded carefully… ‘I believe journalism is the essence of democracy,’ says Meera. Watching this will make you believe it too. --Amber Wilkinson, Screen International
