It is about 230 MB, and it is on the US server.
You may be able to watch some of it - not sure.

Thank you, I had a glance for a few minutes - it looked fine! Young India girls and women singing and acting on stage in different groups. This week is filled to the brim but I look forward to watch more of it.

Finally, I can share some of this film - Julie discovered it on YT.

This is not a doco - watch carefully, this is a sensitive and beautifully filmed artistic movie.

The dance ones are especially good.
Also the Toda (first) - I visited this area in India long ago - I fear all these people have been absorbed and their culture gone by now, but maybe not.

This one is truly sublime.
Luis Malle, who also does the voice-over, was obviously very affected by these girls' dancing. It is easy to see why.
