A turbulent newsroom drama that intimately chronicles the working days of broadcast journalist Ravish Kumar as he navigates a spiraling world of truth and disinformation.
A lightning-fast newsroom drama, a portrait of a truth-teller, a tale of a nation under siege by misinformation.
While We Watched thrusts us straight into the day-to-day of Ravish Kumar, whose primetime news show is a respite from the polarized screaming matches on other networks, and whose commitment to evidence and research has made him a political target.
Director Vinay Shukla depicts Kumar’s NDTV newsroom as a ticking timebomb, the fate of the Indian nation at stake, and an urgent allegory for so-called free democracies everywhere.
The film premiered world-wide at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, winning the Amplify Voices award. At its Asian premiere in the 27th Busan International Film Festival, it won the Cinephile award and the International Competition at DocPoint Helsinki.
