Cowbelt Studios is a documentary film collective dedicated to uncovering untold stories from northern India—often referred to as the "cowbelt" region. The approach fuses academic inquiry with the art of visual storytelling.
Our mission is to spotlight unheard voices and underrepresented narratives from the heartland of India through films grounded in immersive research.
We produce visually compelling, research-driven films that bring forward the voices and experiences of
marginalised communities across caste, gender, class, religion, and region.

We create documentary films based on interviews, discussions and archival exploration rooted in fieldwork and ethical representation. From rural villages to urban margins, we explore how communities navigate law, justice, gender, migration, and social change
