New Delhi, April 12 (TIWN) The COVID-19 pandemic might have virtually shut down the whole entertainment industry, but it sure has opened up opportunities for documentary filmmakers. With the global outbreak unleashing havoc, documentary makers have found a new subject to create an arresting mix of drama and information.

The pandemic has opened a pandora''s box of questions, doubts and lots of fake news -- which in turn sets the stage to look for information from reliable sources. That is where documentaries find a strong ground.  At the same time, these information packages are crafted out of a viable business model, and the current surge in genre only means it is a win-win situation for all.  With an aim to give an in-depth look at the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping across the globe, Discovery got together several scientists and experts in "Pandemic: COVID-19", a one-hour special.
