Due to unforeseen circumstances, the film's distributor has had to cancel all upcoming in-person and online screenings of the film.

The presentation will be followed by a post-film discussion highlight women in journalism featuring Amy Maestas from Solutions Journalism Network and Marcie Cancio Young from Amplify Utah.

Armed with smartphones, Chief Reporter Meera and her journalists break traditions, be it on the frontlines of India’s biggest issues or within the conﬁnes of their homes, redeﬁning what it means to be powerful.
