Documentary following the creative process behind British-Bangladeshi dancer and choreographer Akram Khan's solo dance show, 'Desh'. A great deal went into the making of 'Desh'; not only the creative flair and technical skill required to conceive and execute a perfectly choreographed dance performance. 'Desh' is partially Khan's attempt to reconcile both his British and Bangladeshi identities and to create a fusion of the two nations' traditions in dance. The documentary follows him in both Bangladesh and Britain as he seeks inspiration.
