People have stopped watching news channels.
This is the perfect time to release this masterpiece in India.
I don't think anything has documented what's happened in media in the last ten years better than documentary of Ravish Kumar "While We Watched."

"Desh humaara hai, na?" –– @ravish_journo
One man's quest to stand up for the truth gives way to a gripping interrogation of the role of the fourth estate in a democracy. Vinay Shukla's WHILE WE WATCHED is now streaming exclusively.

This award celebrates films that speak urgently to our time. While We Watched follows journalist Ravish Kumar, as he holds the line against disinformation, ratings pressure, and growing isolation in a shifting newsroom. 2/n

The jury called it: “A real-time documentation of a news environment under immense strain — and a portrait of one journalist’s personal and professional courage. Ravish Kumar is an unforgettable character. A brave effort that should serve as a warning to us all.” 3/n
