MAPPING INDIA

“Mapping India” is an ongoing mega-docuseries which aims to portray the lives of Indian citizens in every state and Union territory in relation to (a) Governance: the governance they receive, or lack thereof, (b) Democracy: their rights and freedoms they have, or lack thereof, and the representation they have in decision-making, (c) Economy: their ability to earn a living to be able to live with dignity, and (d) Society: issue they face in the society they live in.

This mega-series involves producing 144 video/audio stories (over 4,000 minutes, or 66 hours, of content) from the ground, to help the Indian audience look at issues from a more humanitarian perspective, and to “feel” what their fellow citizens go through in their day-to-day lives.

To us, at Newsreel Asia, being national does not mean covering issues of national significance, but rather issues that are important to people in each state and Union territory. In other words, being national to us means the sum total of all states and Union territories.
