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."
