Michael S @mstrocko 01/17/2023 Solid, Oscar-nominated documentary (part of the PBS Independent Lens series) that not is not flashy and lets the subject matter be front-and-center. See more Kyle M @RT77296778 10/16/2022 This documentary display real-life circumstantial extension of the dangers that investigative journalism faces when inching closer to a corrupted truth, lingeringly becoming an eye-opening realization on how other extremities could get unveiled if this is leading examples socially and ethically. A fierce expansion similarly tested before in few other platforms in growing significant awareness regarding generationally seeded publisher's withstanding legacy of passionate pursuit towards a societal critical truth. As briefly said, the title's truly self-descriptive on the broadened deliverance's insightful impact spreading across another platform to not just profile the publisher's revolutionary mission but proudly as captured governmental exposure from an affected passerby distance with limited interactions confirming suspicions.

See more dave d @RT34924333 06/03/2022 Stories of burgeoning journalism are enough for a movie, but Khabar Lahariya, the only news agency in India run by Dalit (oppressed-caste) women makes for a remarkable and uplifting documentary feature. It's hard not to get swept into what these ladies are trying to do. At the same time it's tough not to notice all the men who rule the country. It would have been nice to learn more about the Hindi/Muslim conflicts in the country, but it just wasn't brought up for more than a moment. Worth a watch if you're a journalist or a fan of docs or just like keeping up with foreign affairs! Final Score: 8/10 See more 05/24/2022 An interesting documentary on many different fronts, which showcases an Indian news organization ran and staffed entirely by women. While I definitely learned a lot from this doc it never felt entirely focused on delivering a core singular message. I had no idea journalism in India had become such a dangerous occupation, and while I now understand that is the case, I never really got that feeling from any of the journalist's experiences in this doc. I found the scenes exploring the organization's shift from print to digital quite interesting, as we see how modern technology can both improve a company, and at the same time make a job more daunting for employees. There were many aspects of the Indian justice system, political system, as well as their over all culture, that naturally leak in as well, giving viewers a lot of surface level information on a variety of subjects while never digging too deep into any single story or topic.
