From covering caste violence for The Times of India in Mumbai to winning a 2025 Boston/New England Emmy®, Sabrina Buckwalter’s career is a testament to fearless reporting. Barred from India for her work, she earned her Master's from Columbia's Stabile Center for Investigative Reporting. Her journalism has been featured by outlets like Al Jazeera English and in French-language media, and she contributed to the critically acclaimed documentaries DRONE, iHuman, and Praying for Armageddon.
Her Emmy®-winning work as a producer on Fighting for Home tackled housing segregation in her home state of Connecticut. Her next documentary will investigate the Black and Brown maternal health crisis and the powerful, life-saving solutions offered by the home birth movement.
