    Redressing the Balance - BBC Documentary

    hi there!

    i saw a really heart touching documentary about nitin on swiss television in 2003. since then i'd like to watch it again but nobody could help me to get this video.

    my girlfriend and i did some research but we weren't succesfull so far. maybe you could help us getting a copy of this really fascinating (that's what i remember) documentary.

    here is all the information we can provide you to help us:


    Nitin Sawhney - Redressing the Balance

    Nitin Sawhney is one of the most interesting musicians working in Britain today. Drawing on the music of his South Asian roots, flamenco and the London club scene, he says his most important musical influence was having a racist music teacher at school.
    Centred around his Prophesy concert at the Albert Hall, this is a powerful portrait of music in multicultural Britain and includes Jayanta Bose, Jhelisa Anderson, Aref Durvesh, Jeff Beck and Courtney Pine alongside Nitin Sawhney.

    it would be really great if you have a copy of this video or if you know how to get it.

    at least tell us if you also have seen the documentation too and that it is worth to be searching for it about 5 years now. Smile

    Hi Shoe,

    That does sound interesting. So many great BBC documentaries are never released on DVD, but let me see what I can find out for you.

    Hi Shoe,

    No luck on this, I'm afraid. Sad

    I checked the archive and there is nothing at the moment on this -  not even earlier this year when the archive trial was going on and had more material available to search.

    You could write to the BBC to see if they would make this available in the future.  Here is the link to the current archive www.bbc.co.uk/archive/
