After much deliberation our first feature length documentary, "The Social Distance," just dropped on the VICE World News YouTube channel. The film looks at the impact of the virus on Delhi, in the year 2020, a year flanked by citizens' protests on both ends. (link in Bio)

Our film was part of an acquisition of 10 unique films, both feature length documentaries and short doc series under the banner of VICE World News (VWN) Presents. Each film includes a wide range of subject matter from Covid-19, mental health, historical racism, and major environmental issues.

The film follows Ishan Tankha], a photojournalist documenting scores of migrants leaving the capital city, Nandita and Rashid of who have been relentlessly providing cooked meals in North Delhi everyday since the first lockdown, Rani and her crew of ASHA workers braving the frontlines and demanding what's owed to them from their local leaders, and finally Mohd Shamim, the inimitable third-generation grave digger, who despite having seen the first wave of COVID closer than most of us, still finds his job to be one that gives him peace.
