If this epic trailer is anything to go by, Under The Influence is set to share the untold story of UK hip hop in truly transformative fashion. Edited by gifted visual artist/musician turned filmmaker Benjamin Wachenje, Under The Influence takes us back to the humble roots of a movement that drew inspiration from US hip hop, soul and reggae to create an undeniably homegrown sound that would eventually resonate across the globe. 

With the Godfather of UK hip hop Rodney P as narrator, and a cast of groundbreaking creatives contributing the project, this forthcoming documentary is a welcome addition to the canon of UK music and culture. Under The Influence is still in production, and they want YOUR INPUT. Join the debate now and make your contribution:

Love the way that Brazil continues to use art to create social solutions. When empty houses for sale become temporary art galleries, everybody wins. #IITSPIRATION

Pondering success stories: whats needed to be succesful?

We all have some we look up to: for guidance, support or simply inspiration. It has everything to do with how their achievements however small or big are advertised. The advertisements of them and their achievements make them what they are for us. Be it anyone: Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi. They don’t do things thinking what they do will make them outshine others. They didn’t usually take up a task simply because they were supposed to pick it up and be relegated for rest of their lives or even after. They did whatever it was they were doing and put in wholeheartedly all the hard work and perseverance that was required, without giving much thought of what the outcome would be.

What makes them different from the rest of us?

Picking up some issue close to their heart, something that the believed in: getting independent India, rehabilitation of harijans(shudras), helping humans(hunger,poverty, abuse, disease), fighting for women rights and powers independently(within and outside the system), changing the politics. Working selflessly in achieving towards these issues. Failing yet standing up again and working all over again.

These success stories, n in numbers, these people relegated as successful are simply one us with same hopes and dreams. As much as their hard work and perseverance to achieve something is to be believed, I feel luck should be accredited as well. After all sometimes, we do everything right and yet we fail while sometimes even after committing the worst of mistakes we pass with flying colors. And lets not forget passing every bank paper or scoring less than 2k rank in AIEEE( Indian engg. Common entrance test) is not a success story. Nor is getting into IIT or MIT or Harvard a big deal if you belong to a family with nobel laureates. Long story short, to be successful not just your vision, dogged efforts and resilience is needed. Luck as well as a place where your efforts are relegated as success is needed. We are no different than Gandhi or Kejriwal or Mother Tresa. We need a platform which desperately needs someone with our vision. Which needs our story to be a success story.

Image taken after the meeting we had with Fusion and the #IITSPIRATION team. Here we discussed our roles and who would be suitable for which role to help the event run smoothly. My main role was to be a stage manager assistant as that is something I really enjoy doing.
