Writing with Fire
Directed by Rintu Thomas, Sushmit Ghosh
Produced by Black Ticket Films, Sundance Institute
A documentary celebrating the courage and solidarity of Dalit women journalists challenging patriarchal and caste-based oppression through grassroots journalism in India.
In a cluttered news landscape dominated by men, emerges India’s only newspaper run by Dalit women. Armed with smartphones, Chief Reporter Meera and her journalists break traditions on the frontlines of India’s biggest issues and within the confines of their own homes, redefining what it means to be powerful.
