Mumbai: Warner Bros. Discovery and Times Network have announced the release of Unheard Cries at GB Road, a powerful new documentary that amplifies the silenced voices of women living and working in Delhi’s red-light district. Premiering on discovery+ on 17 November 2025, the film presents courageous, on-record testimonies from survivors and sex workers, revealing the trauma, resilience, and systemic injustices that shape their daily lives.
Produced under Times Now Studios and co-written and produced by Rohit Chadda, the documentary is built on more than 50 in-depth interviews. At a time when red-light districts are often portrayed through fiction or purely dramatic lenses, Unheard Cries at GB Road offers a grounded, non-fictional perspective rooted in firsthand accounts. Its documentation-led approach brings fresh clarity to a subject widely discussed yet rarely heard directly from those living within it.
Sai Abishek, Head of Factual Entertainment, Lifestyle & Kids – South Asia, Warner Bros. Discovery, said, “Unheard Cries at GB Road is a story that demands to be seen and heard. At Warner Bros. Discovery, we believe factual storytelling carries both purpose and responsibility, and this film embodies that commitment. By giving these women the space to speak for themselves, the documentary brings rare honesty and emotional depth to a subject too often misunderstood. We’re proud to partner with Times Network to help ensure their voices reach a wider audience.”
Supported by insights from members of the Delhi Police, social workers and subject-matter experts, the film situates personal stories within broader concerns of trafficking, safety and legal challenges. It also captures the internal environment of the brothels, portraying everyday conditions that shape the routines, responsibilities and constraints of the women who inhabit them. Beyond physical realities, the documentary sensitively explores the psychological and emotional burden they carry, revealing how they navigate fear, coercion and uncertainty while holding on to threads of hope.
A Times Network spokesperson said, “This film has been made with deep responsibility toward the women whose lives it reflects. Earning their trust and entering a world that has stayed closed for decades enabled our team to build a narrative that is honest, sensitive and revealing. Rohit Chadda’s role in shaping the interviews and structure has been crucial to the film’s authenticity. We hope it offers audiences a meaningful window into the realities of GB Road.”
