About the Film
We are proud to present the award-winning independent drama Humans in the Loop. Set in rural Jharkhand, India, the film follows Nehma, an Adivasi woman from the Oraon tribe who returns to her ancestral village and takes a job at a local data-labeling center to secure her children's future. The story provides a visceral look at the "ghost work" powering the global AI revolution and the invisible human labor required to train machine learning algorithms. As Nehma begins to view the evolving algorithm with the same care she gives her children, she discovers a profound tension between the rigid data categories demanded by global tech platforms and the complex ecological wisdom of her own community.
