“While We Watched“ Documentary Spotlights Journalist Ravish Kumar’s Fight for Truth in Modi’s India

One of India’s last bastions of free media, NDTV, has been taken over by Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, believed to have close ties to Modi. NDTV’s former executive editor and longtime anchor Ravish Kumar, one of India’s most prominent TV journalists who has reported critically on Modi’s Hindu nationalist policies, is the subject of Vinay Shukla’s film _While We Watched_, which is being released this week in theaters in the United States.
