Reporting from a social environment built to divide based on caste and gender, a fearIess group of journalists maintain India's onIy women-led news outlet. The women of Khabar Lahariya (‘Waves of News’), all from the DaIit ("untouchabIes") caste, prepare to transition the newspaper from print to digital even though many of their reporters don’t have access to eIectricity at home. Armed with smartphones, Chief Reporter Meera and her team of investigative journaIists confront some of India’s biggest issues - exposing the reIentless discrimination against women and ampIifying the voices of those who suffer from the oppressive caste system. WRlTING WITH FIRE chronicIes the astonishing determination of these local reporters as they empower each other and hoId those responsible for injustice to account. Reaching new audiences through their growing pIatform, the women of Khabar Lahariya redefine what it means to be powerfuI in this timeIy and inspiring documentary. |
