More details about the documentary and this teaser can be found at the Mass E Bhat page. But in the meantime while you are here have a look at the teaser below and let us know what you think.
New AmaZulu scene uploaded on the AmaZulu page. It has taken us a long time to get round to uploading this scene but we have finally done it. We have also uploaded a deleted scene from Bafana.

Go to the Online Videos page to view these and many other Rainbow Collective videos. Very soon we shall be posting two trailers from Mass E Bhat and a brand new Rainbow Collective showreel which condenses four years of work in about four minutes. Also we have created a new page Current Productions which gives details on what we are working on at the moment. 2009 We are anticipating a good year for The Rainbow Collective. We have two big documentary releases this year, our first is the short 'Baghdad Holiday' which is complete and will hit the festival circuit very soon and the second which we are in post production on is 'Mass E Bhat' which we completed shooting at the end of last year in Bangladesh. We have already started cutting Mass E Bhat and we are very pleased so far , this is our most ambitious project to date. We will be releasing a scene from the documentary very soon we are just waiting to clear the music rights and then it will go online. Both documentaries are financed by The Rainbow Collective. As well as those documentaries we are also working on many educational videos, we are currently working on three with the Citizenship Foundation, also there are a host of videos we are doing with the education team in Tower Hamlets City Council and so far we are scheduled to be making a further three documentaries for Teachers TV.
