This documentary follows the life and artistry of renowned Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar during a pivotal moment when Western rock musicians and audiences began discovering classical Indian music in the late 1960s. The film traces Shankar's journey, including his training under his guru in central India and his collaborations with Western classical and rock musicians, while examining his complex feelings about the popularization of his musical tradition. Shot primarily in India in 1968, the documentary captures both Shankar's teaching and performances, featuring appearances by violinist Yehudi Menuhin and Beatle George Harrison.
