ZEE5 Global, the world’s largest streaming platform for South Asian content, released the trailer of its next original series ‘The Kashmir Files Unreported’. After the blockbuster success of the critically acclaimed film The Kashmir Files, national award-winning filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri promises the sequel to be far more eye-opening and spine-chilling. Produced by Vivek Agnihotri and Pallavi Joshi’s, IamBuddha Entertainment and Media LLP, the 7-part series will premiere on ZEE5 Global soon.

Woven together through real life anecdotes, survivor testimonies and archived footages, The Kashmir Files Unreported delves into the historical, ethnical, and geopolitical details, encapsulating the events, mistakes, crimes and circumstances that led to the massacre and mass exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley in the 1990s. It goes on to portray the state of affairs which led to the abrogation of Article 370 and its repercussions on Kashmir today

As seen in the trailer, the narrative is captured via conversations with historians, experts, real life victims and their families including experts like Dr. Meenakshi Jain who was conferred with the Padma Shri award in 2020 for her work in the field of literature and education; Rakesh K Kaul who is the author of bestsellers ‘The Last Queen of Kashmir’ and ‘Dawn: The Warrior Princess of Kashmir’; Shesh Paul Vaid – the former Director General of Police of J&K; Manoj Raghuvanshi – ex TV journalist and the first journalist to do a lead story on terrorism erupting in Kashmir in July 1989; Dr. Tej Tikoo – Retired Colonel and veteran of 1971 Indo-Pak war and the author of ‘Kashmir: Its Aborigines and their Exodus’ among others.

While The Kashmir Files was a 3-hour long movie which shook the nation, yet it was only the tip of the iceberg. This series is far more heart-wrenching, eye-opening and spine-chilling as it unravels the unreported realities, facts and the truth behind the massacre and the exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits straight from the horses’ mouth. It also maps the centuries old journey of Kashmir, hailed as the paradise on earth, its significance to India, its people and culture and their evolution from being a melting pot of civilization and knowledge, to being repeatedly attacked, radicalized and systemically reduced to a warzone like condition of today.

Archana Anand, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 Global said, “In today’s content landscape, audiences gravitate towards reality-driven narratives that offer different perspectives of a story. ‘The Kashmir Files’ was one such story that was well received across our global markets. What sets ‘The Kashmir Files Unreported’ apart now is its strong exploration of real-life anecdotes, survivor testimonies, and archived footage that make this an intense and gripping watch. We are committed to meeting the growing content appetite of our global audiences and to bringing them relevant and compelling stories that resonate.”

Nimisha Pandey, Chief Content Officer – Hindi Originals, ZEE5 Global said, “This is our second docu-series after Break Point. This format offers a unique opportunity where the audience gets to experience stories firsthand. In ‘Kashmir Files: Unreported’, audience will get to hear the spine-chilling stories of Kashmiri Pandits from the very people who have lived through the tragedy. We hope the show resonates with people the way Kashmir Files did. Vivek and Pallavi have been working on this for years and we are happy to present it to our viewers.”
