Mumbai Mar 21 PTI Khabar Lahariya the countrys only rural women-led media collective which is the subject of the Oscar nominated documentary Writing With Fire on Monday said its representation in the film is inaccurateDirected by debutants Rintu Thomas and Sushmit Ghosh Writing With Fire chronicles the rise of Khabar Lahariya a digital-only rural news channel run by Dalit womenThe documentary which bagged a spot in the final nominations list at the 94th edition of the Academy Awards in the Documentary Feature category follows an ambitious group of Dalit women led by their chief reporter Meera as the team switches from print to digital in order to stay relevantIn a lengthy blog post ahead of the Oscars on March 28 Khabar Lahariya said the documentary--which the team saw recently-- captures just a part of their story and part stories have a way of distorting the whole sometimesThomas and Ghosh could not be reached for a comment on the post when contacted by PTIThe film is a moving and powerful document but its presentation of Khabar Lahariya as an organisation with a particular and consuming focus of reporting on one party and the mobilisation around this is inaccurateWe recognise the prerogative of independent filmmakers to present the story that they choose to but we would like to say that this eclipses the kind of work and the kind of local journalism we have done for twenty years the reason we are different from other mainstream media of our times It is a story which captures a part of ours and part stories have a way of distorting the whole sometimes the post readThe organisation said its team led by Dalit but also including Muslims OBC and upper-caste women is committed to practise impartial journalism and isnt just a heartwarming story of successThe team said its journalistic values are not reflected in the documentary which has created a splash across international film festivalsIn our 20 years of practising independent journalism it has been a foundational value to be deliberate about how and who we include in the frame or story about corroboration about multiple perspectives These values are not reflected in the version of ourselves we see in the filmAnd so to people all over the world who are watching us maybe even hero-ing us we want to say that ours has not just been the easy-to-digest heartwarming story of the small figure talking back to the big powers in a time of political change Khabar Lahariya said for the organisation it has been 20 years of financial uncertainty of reporting on violence against women navigating their way out of complex situations and wading through mountains of FIRsAnd in our 20 years of doing this unglamorous work we have not known if we would survive another week or month or year Even as we speak and as some of our stories reach the glitz of Academy Awards luncheon parties we feel the same vulnerability Calling out the documentary for its apparent rosy representation of caste the organisation said We have not as the film would have one believe been able to carry our caste identities on our sleeves with bravado and humour We have had to be discreet often fearfulWe have not emerged from a vacuum but from long decades of ground work on empowerment on literacy on digital access When we go away for office offsites this is mostly what we discuss not just the way we feel when a particular party wins an election which is what youd take away from the film Khabar Lahariya concluded that as the team unexpectedly makes itself known all over the world with the film it hopes to talk more about what makes women-led independent rural media possible which is a much more complex story than the one going to the Oscars PTI JUR BK BK
