  Self-help is the best help no doubt. But to the people living in a remote village in Rajasthan it is meaningless. For years the poor unarmed people were constantly living in terror of Dacoits. They raided and looted their village harassed and punished them and occasionally molested their innocent girls. Police tried their best to bring the dacoits to book but without the active help of the villagers they could not succeed in their mission. People refused to co-operate with them because they believed that police protection is temporary while the vengeance of Dacoits is perpetual! And they just went on enduring their own miseries blaming and cursing their own fate! In such a village one day walked in Ajit a city-bred young man a typical product of an orphanage slums and jail-life has hardened him but at the same time it has made him too self-centered and almost immune to the suffering of others. He shows neither concern nor sympathy for the villager for taking everything lying low. He openly ridicules them for their cowardice and makes fun of their miseries. He is not interested in any one of them not even in the man who had given him shelter and promised to adopt him as own son. He tries to remain aloof from everybody. But the warmth and hospitality of the innocent villagers start pulling him out of the shell he has tried to create around himself. Slowly and slowly the Human being him starts emerging out and he starts taking a liking for a number of people. But as the luck would have it whomsoever he takes a liking to eventually falls a victim of the heartless Dacoits. And ultimately before he could realise what he is doing he finds himself standing face to face against the Dacoits. Ajit was a hardened criminal accustomed to fighting for getting what he wanted. When it came to make a choice between violence. Such a man was ultimately destined to stand against most notorious Dacoits who taught with modern weapons who had hoodwinked the police for years and who had established a reign of terror over a vast territory of Rajasthan.

One of Tony Palmers first successes was the film All My Loving which was released in 1968. Some seven years later Tony had the idea encouraged by John Lennon to document the history of popular music. The result was the groundbreaking and award winning series of films made for television under the title All You Need Is Love The full series of films was released in 2008 to great critical and commercial acclaim. Volume 4 addresses one of the most popular and enduring musical genres The Blues. This episode features BB King Leadbelly and Billy Holliday. Blues is a word you have to think about before it can be understood. Contrary to popular belief blues as a form of music does not appear until 1910 or so that is after ragtime and jazz. Blues is not therefore the cornerstone of popular music. Rather it has become an emotional response through music to a variety of oppressive social conditions. The Episode begins in the Delta of Mississippi and follow the progress of itinerant blues musicians to the steel mills and automobile factories of Chicago; from harmonica and fiddle to electric guitar and fashionable nightclub. Finally the Episode shows how blues phrases and harmonies were stolen by white rock n rollers in need of a new gimmick.
