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 electricity at home. Armed with smartphones, Chief Reporter Meera and her team of investigative journaIists confront some of India’s biggest issues - exposing the reIentIess discrimination against women and ampIifying the voices of those who suffer from the oppressive caste system. WRITlNG WITH FIRE chronicles the astonishing determination of these IocaI reporters as they empower each other and hold those responsible for injustice to account. Reaching new audiences through their growing pIatform, the women of Khabar Lahariya redefine what it means to be powerful in this timeIy and inspiring documentary. |
