A quick plug: Road to the Future? on Current TV

7 November 2008 Rob Buckley UK TV Post a comment

Someone I used to train in jiu jitsu with, but who’s been living in India for the last 14 months, has made a documentary, Road to the Future?. It examines the gap between the rich and the poor in the country in the context of media hype about ‘shining India’. It’s going to be on Current TV on Tuesday 11th November at 11pm, so I thought I’d give it a plug
