MUMBAI: While celebrating the success of fictional heroes, we often overlook the heroes of everyday life. ‘The Neelesh Misra show’, a new web series brought by The Quint, will narrate the extraordinarily heroic deeds of ordinary people.
Neelesh Misra, the famous journalist who has been dealing with stories of rural india through Hindi news portal Gaon Connection, has teamed up with The Quint. The 26-episode series will connect the urban population with rural India through real-life stories. The show will premier on 27 February 2018 and will be available on Quint Hindi's YouTube channel and Facebook account as well.
The upcoming series has an underlying theme of ‘hamare hero hamare aas-pas hain’ that is ‘our heroes are among us.’ The audience will come to know about those brave hearts who are silently working for society in areas such as women empowerment, health, farming and rural aspirations.
“At Gaon Connection, we have been telling stories related to the heartland for five years now. But it is really exciting for me personally that we are collaborating with The Quint to take these stories to a far bigger, English- and Hindi-speaking audience in urban India. I hope our show will help them better understand issues that are often on the margins of mainstream media,” Misra said of the show.
