“While We Watched” is a 94-minute tell-all documentary that shines a light on the sorry state of Indian media through the lens of veteran independent journalist Ravish Kumar, who now runs a YouTube channel with 6.73 million subscribers.
The documentary, directed by Vinay Shukla, charts Kumar’s journey as a senior executive editor with New Delhi Television, one of the country’s earliest independent news channels, before he resigned last year. Many veteran journalists, including founders Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy, have left since billionaire Gautam Adani’s conglomerate took majority control of the media company last December.
