10pm, BBC Four

From the moment we meet Meera Devi – chief reporter of India’s only newspaper run by women (who are from the lowest caste, Dalit) – it’s clear why her story has earned this incredible, vital documentary a nomination at this year’s Oscars. After interviewing a woman who says the police won’t log her multiple reports of rape, Meera charges down to the station demanding answers. It’s just one of the ways that this newspaper is stirring a revolution in spite of the fact that everybody around the team expected it to silently fail. Hollie Richardson
