Here’s the irony. #WritingWithFire, a powerful multiple award-winning documentary about @KhabarLahariya - a collective of grassroots women journalists in India opens on Friday in theaters in NYC, LA, Austin and Chicago. Next week it expands acrsss the US including SF.
Because of the film’s political content it has not been shown in India. But even if it was programmed by a festival, what are the chances of it getting theatrical release in India? Zero! We just don’t have the refined art house moviegoing culture in India.
A very Indian film about grassroot journalism will be seen by many Americans, before it travels to Europe. These women are self taught, they didn’t attend elite journalism schools in the US. But I suspect there will not be much of an audience in India to appreciate their story.
