Sari Stories follows a group of young women in rural Southern India, who have lived traditional lives as wives and mothers, working in the fields for a few rupees a day.

Now these women are being trained to become video journalists as part of an initiative to alleviate rural poverty. 

We follow them making their community videos, and ask four of them to use their cameras to make video diaries of their own lives.

The film shows the hidden reality of rural India, a world of child marriage, child labour and domestic abuse. It also shows how some women use video cameras to challenge traditional ways of life.

About Al Jazeera - Witness

Rageh Omaar presents Witness, a half-hour daily documentary series which features short, specially commissioned or acquired films gathered from independent filmmakers.
 
Each documentary reveals the unknown lives of ordinary people, following their lives, telling their stories and portraying the challenges that confront them. Our witnesses are people in a situation or those who have observed them first hand.
 
The films cover conflict, belief, the past and the future and as well as bringing new stories to light they showcase the talents of a new breed of multi-skilled, frontline journalist. In the studio, Rageh will further explore the issues raised in the films, with expert guests on the subject matter and the filmmakers themselves.
