About this Event

Join us for a screening of Chambal Media's documentary film Miles Away (‘Meelon Dur’), followed by a panel discussion with:

Megha Acharya, Director

Geeta Devi, Associate director

Kavita Devi, Co-Founder of Chambal Media

Disha Mullick, Co-Founder of Chambal Media

And moderated by:

Michelle Buckley, University of Toronto Scarborough

Paula Chakravartty, New York University

Miles Away follows the journey of three women who work at a brick kiln on the outskirts of a city in North India, in the midst of extreme rains and a global pandemic. What unfolds is a story of mobility, debt and the everyday lives of the caste-oppressed women, whose labour is both crucial and too often invisible, in the story of a rapidly urbanizing global India.

The documentary stems from a research project by Khabar Lahariya, in association with Dr. Michelle Buckley and Dr. Paula Chakravartty, and was made by an all-women crew.
