Deedar Saman joins the rest of Asian Dub Foundation in their van; they tease him about the adolescent changes in his appearance. Van driving through London. Saman’s VO introduces himself saying he’s aged 15, and trying to be a good rapper. He talks about his subject matter and the group’s music. ADF rapping during the journey. Saman says they try to convey an anti-racist message. Arriving at their destination, an open-air event at the Open University. Split screen of performers preparing.
