I think probably the two most important skills for a documentary filmmaker is to build strong trusting relationships with your subjects and to be able to tell a story that’s both engaging and sincere. Rani not only has both of these skills, but she uses them in a way that brings something unique to her filmmaking.

Andy Glynne, Director DFG

’Amazons in Saris’ is a genuine and heartfelt attempt to get to grips with a subject that is all too often sidestepped by journalists working in India...A sensitive, thoughtful and necessary documentary.
