In modern day India, a small group of brave journalists lead the perilous fight against state control of the news – at a tumultuous time in which every news channels echoes the same propaganda, and has zero tolerance for criticism or freedom of expression. Leading the noble cause for the future of the country is fearless prime time broadcaster Ravish Kumar – who faces a wave of accusations of being a traitor – as he campaigns tirelessly to ensure that journalistic freedom of speech can endure.

An illuminating, powerful documentary which simmers with palpable tension, Vinay Shukla’s extraordinary chronicle of the vital need for press integrity is a must-see newsroom drama, and a fittingly courageous tribute to the work of Ravish Kumar.
