peopie the way Kashmir Files did Vivek and Dallavi hove been working on this for years and We are
happy to present it to our viewers.
Director-Producer Vivek Agnihotri said. “The genocide of Kashmir is a blot not only on India bUr on
humanity. It is considered to be the biggest hidden tragedy of modern times. It was very important Jor Us
to tell this story honestly. So far, all the movies literature and in media, what has been reported is
COntemporary. After 32 years when we made The Kashmir Files based on 4 years of extensive researclh, it
opened people’s eyes. But there were polarizing views on the film – some felt that the movie portrayed
only 10% of the reality and some felt that The Kashmir Files was a propaganda film. Therefore, it was
important for us to open all the research and interviews we did in its purest and rawest form for people
to unders tand that the truth is difficult to handle I can quarantee that ‘The Kashmir Files Unreported
will shatter your heart but the intention is so that we learn from history, and we develop a temperament
of zero tolerance for terrorism and we stand up for humanity and our own people”.
Producer Pallavi Joshi said, “Our movie ‘The Kashmir Files’ was made after extensive research of 4 years.
The decp pain and agony that the Kashmiri Pundit community went through when they shared it with us,
it was very dificult for us to listen to their horror stories not just because we were so impacted by the
grief ond the pain they have gone through but also because we started feeling very small, realising that
this story not made known to us by the government, administration, media and others. When we made
The Kashmir Files, it was a 3-hour long film, yet it was only the tip of the iceberg. And when a section of
the society started saying that this is untrue and o propaganda film, we realised that the truth in its true
ond naked form needs to come out in front of the people. So here we are presen ting The Kashmir Files
Unreported which shows you the extensive research we have gone through, and you can hear the stories
of unimaginable horror and terror that these pandits have gone through, from the horses’ mouth. So, it’s
a series that every Indian should watch for every Indian needs to know what Kashmir means to India and
how it is an intrinsic part of our country and will continue to remain so”
