Mutiny: Asians Storm British Music

18

An absorbing and thrilling account of the contribution of Asian musicians to British pop in the 1990s. Over the course of seven years, filmmaker Vivek Bald captured the rise and fall of what was always imperfectly described as the ‘Asian Underground.’

Shot with virtually no budget, and in a style that mirrored the ethos of the scene, this fascinating 2003 doc features work by – and interviews with – Anjali, Asian Dub Foundation, Black Star Liner, Fun–Da–Mental, Hustlers HC, Invasian, Joi, Kaliphz, DJ Ritu, Talvin Singh and State of Bengal.
