Come join us for a special screening of the award-winning documentary ‘While We Watched.’
While We Watched is a turbulent newsroom drama intimately chronicling the working days of broadcast journalist Ravish Kumar as he navigates a spiraling world of truth and disinformation. As factual reporting is in freefall globally, ‘While We Watched’ is a dignified lens into the abyss.
Featured journalist Ravish Kumar - 2019 winner of the Ramon Magsaysay Award - will join us in conversation.
“A poetic love letter to Indian journalism and a throbbing elegy for press freedom.” — Poulomi Das, Vulture
“It is going to be one of the most important films of this year.” — John Oliver
“This is tense, essential film-making that argues for the importance of serious, balanced journalism in today’s world of factional infotainment, while also showing the cost to those who stand against the tide.” — The Observer
