NEW DELHI: From heathcare workers to police personnel and Government officials to journalists, the heroic efforts of COVID-19 warriors in India has been captured in a new documentary that was innovatively filmed during the ongoing lockdown.
The film ‘Lockdown: India Fights Coronavirus’, produced by National Geographic, is slated to premiere on May 22 at 9.00 pm on the network, officials said on Tuesday.
“This is a special film that brings alive the unique and inspiring stories and tireless efforts of some incredible Indians that we all will owe our future to. It features doctors and other medical personnel, police personnel, government leaders, journalists and other heroes born out of the crisis,” Anuradha Aggarwal, Head – Infotainment, English and Kids, Star India, said.
The unique ‘made-at-home’ documentary was shot keeping all the safety protocols and Government guidelines in mind.
“It has been virtually directed and produced without a single member of the crew stepping out of their houses. It covers cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Sangli, Bengaluru, Chennai and some parts of Kerala,” she said.
The project also features officials from health departments, state commissioners, officials from COVID-19 war rooms and other medical personnel who are at the frontline of this war against this pandemic that has wrecked havoc globally. (AGENCIES)
