This screening will be followed by a pre-recorded Q&amp;A with&nbsp;director Vinay Shukla.

"While We Watched" is a powerful documentary featuring award-winning Indian journalist Ravish Kumar, as he examines the challenges faced by journalists in India, including threats, censorship, and propaganda. The film sheds light on the impact of corporate media on the integrity and impartiality of news and explores the state of democracy in India amidst the rise of nationalist politics.

While We Watched

A turbulent newsroom drama intimately chronicling the working days of broadcast journalist Ravish Kumar as he navigates a spiraling world of truth and disinformation. As factual reporting is in freefall globally, 'While We Watched' is a dignified lens into the abyss.
