"@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.

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: https://t.co/yeyR4NRR6G

Challenges of financing, distribution, and censorship beset documentary filmmakers in India, yet bold movies continue to be made.

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. https://t.co/5Ch0Fnt67R

The country won its first nonfiction Oscar this year with The Elephant Whisperers, but there’s so much more to explore.
