Join The Rights Collective in a community screening of the documentary While We Watched! This documentary slowly unfolds a the story of NDTV and Ravish Kumar, where both come under increased scrutiny under the new India, where journalists critical of the government have limited room to operate.
This screening comes in the midst of the Indian election season and hopes to shed light on the difficulty of being able to do good journalism in India under the current regime.
Join us for a discussion with Vijayta Lalwani, a journalist reporting on political violence and human rights in India. She has extensively covered mass demonstrations, like the farmers' agitation and the citizenship protests, sectarian conflict, and the impact of the pandemic on lives and livelihoods. Her investigations on public health have necessitated government action. In 2023, she was nominated for the Red Ink Awards, and was a recipient of a grant from the Pulitzer Centre in 2022 and an award from the UNFPA - Laadli Media Awards for Gender Sensitivity.
