Just recently I came across a 3-part series about Bali made by David Attenborough in 1969 for the BBC, and will show it here over the next couple of weeks. The first episode is a general introduction to Bali, its people and their varied arts.
The Flute Player
Arn Chorn-Pond was 10 years old when the Khmer Rouge come to power, he was seperated from his family, owners of a leading opera company, and therefore, like most artists, doomed.
The Story of the Weeping Camel
The plot is about a family of nomadic shepherds in the Gobi desert trying to save the life of a rare white bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) calf after it was rejected by its mother.
