One Giant Leap have created a unique music TV and film project. Featuring an incredibly diverse collection of collaborators from Noam Chomsky to Will Young Maxi Jazz to Tim Robbins Billy Connolly to Michael Stipe. What About Me? is the culmination of 4 years work by Duncan Bridgeman and Jamie Catto. Following the success of their first double Grammy nominated film & album they visited 50 global locations collecting wisdom and musical jewels. Then they lovingly pieced them together into the TV & Film mosaic that is What About Me?. It's an inspiring and alarming look... at our collective insanity: how we are ego-driven needy in relationships insatiable in desire addicted to status wounded by childhood and unable to stop thinking but how we still manage to be inspired and creative... The backbone of the project is the music that One Giant Leap make. They start with pre-composed backing tracks in a laptop studio. The music grows as each layer is added seamlessly mixing international stars like Alanis Morissette KD Lang and Michael Franti with Bedouin Musicians Chinese rappers Gabonese Pygmies Tuvan throat singers Egyptian folk muscians Japanese taiko drummers and also the royalty of today's world music scene including Baaba Maal Lila Downs Rokia Traore Oumou Sangare Zap Mama all expanding on the same One Giant Leap musical vision. While Duncan & Jamie sought out wisdom from the likes of Noam Chomsky Eckhart Tolle & Stephen Fry and the cream of the worlds thinkers writers and entertainers they also met many people just getting on with their lives - gravediggers taxi drivers brain surgeon's street kids... Unscripted with no storyboard these conversations all reveal how we are connected not only through our creativity and our beliefs but most of all through our madness! When Duncan & Jamie left on their global journey they thought they were in control but how could they predict what would happen... This set contains the full two hour movie the TV series and extras.
