This is an eye opener on the current state of Indian news channels in 2022. India is constantly declining on Press freedom index and is currently on 142 place out of 180 countries. This is a matter of shame for largest democracy of the world.
There has been sharp decline in the credibility of the news channels since 2014.
Once media used to report and debate on the real issues faced by the citizen. Now, all toxic debates on religion are done to distract the viewers and polarize them.
The media is now not making it's viewers well informed, but well intolerant.
Ravish Kumar is the only news person left in the mainstream media who is still raising the relevant topics in his prime time. This documentary is all about the right kind of journalism he is doing, and the challenges created by the government to destroy the last ray of hope of Indian journalism.
A Must Watch for all and introspect.

First of all, political parties do all kind of politics to win elections and it is somewhat acceptable. This is not just in India but everywhere in a democratic country this happen regularly but problem is the role of media in the society. We all have witnessed the kind of hate in the society that was targeted on everyone's mind from all major news outlet. It already brought India few decades behind the rest of the world in terms of common mentality of the society. Also, we should be thankful that there was no large scale riot. Whole India went to the edge of the cliff but somehow managed to not fall down because of journalists like Ravish Kumar, Purna Prasun Abjpai, Abhishar Sharma, etc.
And NDTV which stood against everyone else and continued their reporting clean and unbiased. They tried their best to keep society together.
Prannoy Roy who stood behind the scenes also deserves all the respect.

I am watching him from the age of 12 and I am 25 yrs old right now . He is the one who made me a citizen of the democratic country instead of just an Indian. I have nothing but love admiration and respect for this man. It is sad and sickening to see how the same people, who praised him before 2014, who praised him for the work and questions he asked, but suddenly as soon as they came into power and he started questioning them instead (which is a journalist's job) , he suddenly becomes anti india and baised according to them and a systematic harassment and hate campaign was launched against him calling him traitor Pakistani and what not. Fortunately some people's morale and love of their work specially public service work like journalism is unshakeable and unconditional and he is one of those rare ones who truly showcased that. As an indian, I am proud to have someone like him in our media along with many other but at the same time when I see what he and other good journalists goes through everyday I sometimes feel that we Indians really don't deserve people like them all we deserve is a shouting clowns like Arnab goswami.
Wish we can watch more movies like that and it ll open eyes of people those who are living in a well. Movie shows us doing right things gives you so much pain and loneliness.
