WRITING WITH FIRE

A Black Ticket Films production
93 minutes | 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, be it on the frontlines of India's biggest issues or within the confines of their homes, redefining what it means to be powerful.


A double Sundance winner, Writing With Fire has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary, making it the first Indian feature documentary to be nominated for an Oscar.

Thomas and Ghosh have found their angle, and it's a powerful one.
