NGC celebrates ‘No Borders’ internationally in July
MUMBAI: National Geographic Channels International (NGCI) has announced that it will launch a new anthology of bold and provocative feature length documentaries in July. These will air in 152 countries.
The programming initiative will showcase the work of passionate filmmakers from around the world. The initiative titled No Borders launches with 10 contemporary films from around the world. Each is based on strong stories with universal appeal. The line-up includes the world premiere of State of Fear, which tells the story of Peru’s battle against the brutal terrorism of The Shining Path movement.
Based around the findings of Peru’s Truth Commission (the first of its kind ever held in Latin America), the film asks the very relevant question of what price a country is willing to pay to fight terror. Another film Shooting Under Fire follows three photojournalists from the Reuters bureau in Jerusalem and the Palestine territories as they cover the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Given a unique access, cameras follow them on their assignments and the film captures how they grapple with the realities of living and working in this incendiary region.
NGCI executive VP content Sydney Suissa says, “No Borders is an important platform from which National Geographic Channel can support and showcase some of the great feature documentaries being made today. These films provide cinematic windows into the world we live in and embody many of the values that are unique to National Geographic.”

EPIC Company unifies all brands under single EPIC identity
IN10 Media rebrand aligns TV, digital and films into one ecosystem
MUMBAI: The EPIC Company, formerly known as IN10 Media Network, has announced a sweeping brand consolidation, bringing its television channels, digital platforms and content IPs under a single identity, EPIC.
The move is aimed at simplifying the company’s structure while creating a more connected content ecosystem spanning television, digital and films. By aligning multiple verticals under one umbrella, the company is looking to present a sharper, more cohesive face to both audiences and partners.
As part of the transition, several channels have been rebranded to align with the EPIC identity. EPIC will now operate as EPIC TV, while Nazara becomes EPIC Bharat, Filamchi is now EPIC Bhojpuri, Gubbare transitions to EPIC Kids, and ShowBox is reintroduced as EPIC Music. Ishara will continue under the identity EPIC Parivaar, maintaining its core positioning.
The company has also refreshed EPICON, its streaming platform, to reflect a more unified and modern brand experience. The overhaul is designed to improve content discovery and create a seamless experience across platforms.
This consolidation follows the recent launch of EPIC Studio, a unified production arm that brings together Juggernaut Productions and MovieVerse Studio, as the company expands its footprint across films, OTT and television.
The EPIC Company managing director Aditya Pittie said, “As our scale has grown, it has become important to simplify how we operate and how we present ourselves to the ecosystem. This consolidation gives us a clearer, more future-ready structure to partner, invest, and build at scale, while ensuring that for viewers, the experience is more seamless and intuitive.”
With the rebrand, The EPIC Company is positioning itself as a platform-agnostic content network, focused on scale, simplicity and integrated storytelling. By bringing everything under one banner, it is aiming to make its content universe easier to navigate and harder to ignore.
