Reviews

I'm fascinated by these women who cover dangerous ground - treading centuries of patriarchy and caste prejudice with measure and grace. I can't wait to meet them in real life.

Aparita Bhandari, Globe and Mail

At a time when the profession faces increasing dangers in India, the film's faith in the powers of grassroots journalism is nothing short of galvanizing

Devika Girish, New York Times

This is a story of women taking their destiny into their own hands, and literally changing the world at the same time told in an entertaining and educating way to its audience.
