In Chennai, @WritingWthFire is screening at PK Rosy Film Festival at @ArtsVaanam organised by @Neelam_Culture during Dalit History Month. Sitting with some very important films and perspectives from our times. Thanks for the invite @beemji.
Delighted for Writing With Fire’s theatrical release in Japan. Playing in cinemas across 20 prefectures all over the country…and so stoked with the love that’s pouring in! 🫶🏾🇯🇵
Did the @WritingWthFire screening light up your screen this weekend?
Well, our subscribers witnessed the indomitable spirit of Khabar Lahariya, the Dalit women-run newspaper, along with its digital shift. Followed by a chat with directors:@RintuThomas11 & @SushmitGhosh.
"@WritingWthFire is a meditation on power...The kind of power that is deeply rooted in the very fertile resilience of a woman's voice."
Co-directors @RintuThomas11 & @SushmitGhosh share thanks in this beautiful video for their gripping doc about India's only all-female newspaper.
We picked up India’s first Peabody! For 80+ years, @Peabodywards has celebrated #StoriesThatMatter and reflect the world around us. A privilege to be recognized amongst this tremendous class of storytelling excellence! #PeabodyWinner

We’re proud to have worked with these incredible nominees on a wide variety of projects—check them out 👇
For my @NotebookMUBI debut, I reported on the long-standing & recent systemic obstacles that limit Indian documentaries from realizing their vision & the price that a new crop of filmmakers pay to make politically charged Indian non-fiction right now:

This nomination for @PeabodyAwards is special 💜
“The nominees are meant to represent the most compelling & empowering stories released in 2022, and were chosen by a unanimous vote of 17 jurors from over 1,200 entries”
I'm in @vulture making a case for my favorite cinematic medium: Indian nonfiction. I loved making this list of eight titles, which I argue, are worthy entry points to the remarkable slate of Indian docus — left out of mainstream discourse for far too long.
