The Prime Time Indian TV journalist, Ravish Kumar, is in trouble. Renowned for his fearless takedowns of the ruling establishment during his long-standing prime-time news slot, he faces mounting challenges. His nerves have begun to fray from carrying the torch of ‘good journalism’ for too long. Amid India’s high-decibel, polarising TV news debates, his show stands apart. As press freedom dwindles and self-censorship prevails, Ravish grapples with his network’s financial woes, plummeting TRP ratings, and constant downsizing. The declining public discourse subjects him to harassment, intimidation, manipulated images, threats to his life, and violence against his family. With a growing target on his back and the looming threat of his network’s closure, Ravish transforms from a spunky troublemaker into a deeply troubled man, worried for himself, his family, and the soul of his nation.
