The directors of ‘Writing With Fire’ say that they have highlighted the important work done by the women-run collective.

Media organisation Khabar Lahariya, the subject of the Oscar-nominated documentary Writing with Fire, published a statement on its website on Monday claiming that the film’s inaccurately depicts the rural, women-led collective as having “a particular and consuming focus of reporting on one party”.

The documentary is “a story which captures a part of ours, and part stories have a way of distorting the whole sometimes”, the statement said.

The statement raises questions about the freedom of expression enjoyed by filmmakers and the responsibility they owe their subjects.

Directed by Rintu Thomas and Sushmit Ghosh, Writing With Fire champions Khabar Lahariya’s boots-on-the-ground journalism and success in creating an all-women newsroom. The documentary was filmed in Uttar Pradesh between 2016 and 2019 when Khabar Lahariya was pivoting from a newspaper into being a digital newsroom.

The filmmakers follow chief reporter Meera Devi and her staffers Shyamkali Devi and Suneeta Prajapati as they chase news leads, jostle their way through swarms of largely male journalists, and deal with contemptuous government officials and unsupportive family members.
