Culture Capture?

En-Gulfed

Available for over a year

BAFTA winning activist and satirist Heydon Prowse gives a personal take on how and why the Gulf States are so interested in British culture. From cash-strapped theatres and museums to huge infrastructure projects, Gulf money is a key ingredient across our cultural landscape. What does this mean to us and what鈥檚 in it for them? Critics cry 鈥榗ulture washing鈥� but is this really what鈥檚 going on and should we care? Written and presented by Heydon Prowse Producer: Alison Vernon-Smith
