VELVET REVOLUTION
Mumbai: Godrej India Culture Lab in collaboration with International Association of Women in Radio and Television (IAWRT) is proud to present the screening of Velvet Revolution, a film on women journalists, on September 29th.There is no longer a red line when it comes to the killing of women journalists today. They are under attack by state and non-state players just like their male counterparts, with the added threat of sexual violence every time they go out in the field.
This exciting collaborative film has six directors who profile women journalists who have paid a high price for speaking truth to power. In a world driven with conflict and dictatorial regimes where journalists are constantly under threat, the film explores what drives these women journalists to do their jobs.
