About this item
Product Description
Reporting from a social environment built to divide based on caste and gender, a fearless group of journalists maintain India’s only women-led news outlet. The women of Khabar Lahariya (‘Waves of News’), all from the Dalit (“untouchables") caste, prepare to transition the newspaper from print to digital even though many of their reporters don’t have access to electricity at home. Armed with smartphones, Chief Reporter Meera and her team of investigative journalists confront some of India’s biggest issues - exposing the relentless discrimination against women and amplifying the voices of those who suffer from the oppressive caste system. WRITING WITH FIRE chronicles the astonishing determination of these local reporters as they empower each other and hold those responsible for injustice to account. Reaching new audiences through their growing platform, the women of Khabar Lahariya redefine what it means to be powerful in this timely and inspiring documentary.
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
