Deep into the forest

EPIC Channel has constantly strived to showcase content that is both relevant and resonates with the audiences. The channel will pay tribute to the National Tree Plantation Festival by showcasing a daylong line-up of some of India’s diverse and rich wildlife stories on July 6. Van Mahotsav, a week-long festival of tree planting, celebrated in July every year, was launched in 1950 by Shri Kanhaiyalal M. Munshi – the then Union Minister for Agriculture and Food to create an enthusiasm for preservation of forests.

The channel will air national award winning documentary Foresting Life that narrates the story of one man’s drive behind creating the world’s first man-made forest on a sandbar. It is the biggest forest in the middle of the river Brahmaputra in Assam. It also includes award-winning film Jungle Ke Bahubali, an odyssey into India's picturesque wetland canvases and their spectacular wildlife.
