'Cool Ladies Club' is directed by 10 working-class women. They live up to the title
They gave smartphones to 10 women from a working-class Indian community to make a documentary about their unseen and unheralded lives. The results are .... pretty cool.
As someone whos watched countless womens stories unfold, Im genuinely curious about the authenticity here. These 10 womens voices feel like theyre finally getting to tell their own story, not just through a filmmakers lens. The fact that theyre learning to use smartphones to document their own lives is actually quite powerful - its not about their lives being inspiring to others, but about them being seen on their own terms.
