In April 2016, we travelled to India to research and document the program. We learned that women in rural India are the heart of the home and the nexus of their communities.

To tell the story of the initiative, we spent time with one Internet Saathi in particular and documented her impact on her community. The hero of our film (watch below) is a woman named Bujji, from a small village in Andhra Pradesh.
