The women of Khabar Lahariya (‘Waves of News’)\, all from the Dalit (“untouchables”) 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 journalists confront some of India’s biggest issues – exposing the relentless discrimination against women and amplifying the voices of those who suffer from the oppressive caste system. WRITING WITH FIRE chronicles the astonishing determination of these local reporters as they empower each other and hold those responsible for injustice to account. Reaching new audiences through their growing platform\, the women of Khabar Lahariya redefine what it means to be powerful in this timely and inspiring documentary. \n  \nAwards: 25 wins\, 18 nominations\nNominated – Best Documentary Feature\, Academy Awards\, 2022\nNominated – Audience Award\, Top 5 Audience Award\, Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival\, 2021\nWinner – IDFA Audience Award\, IDFA\, 2021\nWinner – Golden Gate Award\, Best Documentary Film\, San Francisco Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Special Jury Prize\, Documentary Competition\, Seattle International Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Audience Award\, World Cinema Documentary\, Sundance Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Special Jury Award: Impact for Change\, World Cinema Documentary\, Sundance Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Special Jury Prize\, Best Documentary Feature\, Telluride Mountainfilm Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Best Feature Documentary\, Nordic Docs\, 2021\nWinner – Best Documentary\, Oslo Films from the South Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Silver Horn\, Best Film on Social Issues\, Krakow Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Justice Matters Award\, Best Documentary\, Washington DC International Film Festival\nWinner – Audience Award\, Best Documentary Feature\, Wisconsin Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Maysles Brothers Award\, Feature Documentary\, Belfast Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Checkpoints Award\, Bergen International Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Audience Award and Best Feature Documentary\, Blackstar Film Festival\, 2021\nWinner – Cinema Eye Honors Awards\, 2022\nNominated – F:ACT Award\, CPH:DOX\, 2021\nWinner – Citizens’ Prize\, Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival\, 2021 \n  \nFunded by: City of Barrie\, Ontario Trillium Foundation and Telefilm Canada \nSponsored by: Busch Systems\, Digital Giants\, Lehman & Associates\, Netgain\, Plumbtech Plumbing Inc.\, Sigma Engagement Systems\, and Venable Park Investment Council Inc.
