Humans in the Loop
Set in Jharkhand, Aranya Sahay’s Humans in the Loop (2025) follows Nehma (Sonal Madhushankar), a tribal woman who returns to her ancestral village after a separation. In order to gain custody of her teenage daughter and infant son, Nehma—a college graduate—takes up a job as a data-labeller at a nearby centre, effectively feeding information into systems that power an American tech company. As Nehma delves deeper into the job, she begins to see the limiting worth of her own intelligence. Her American clients don’t define her labour as knowledge, even though the job routinely necessitates her judgement and insight. (Netflix)
